Abstract: This paper seeks to prove the bijectivity of the "Nash mapping" from the set of irreducible components of the scheme parametrizing analytic arcs on an algebraic surface

X

whose origin is a singular point, into the set of irreducible components of the exceptional locus of a minimal desingularization

X^{'}

of

X

when the base field has positive characteristic. The idea is to view the surface as a specialization of another defined over a field of characteristic zero. A number of related results are proved. Among them, the construction of a scheme of arcs for a suitable one parameter family of surfaces which, by using a theorem of M. Artin on lifting of normal surface singularities to characteristic zero, seems a reasonable candidate to be the desired tool. But there are some points, necessary for a complete proof, which are not verified yet.
