    Full text link
    We show that a general prime Fano threefold X of genus 8 can be reconstructed from the pair (Γ,L)(\Gamma,L), where Γ\Gamma is its Fano curve of lines and L=OΓ(1)L=O_{\Gamma}(1) is the theta-characteristic which gives a natural embedding \Gamma \subset \matbb{P}^5.Comment: 24 pages, misprints corrected, to appear in International Journal of Mathematic
