Over an algebraically closed field, a smooth projective rational curve is isomorphic to P1. Its line bundles are determined by degree, its degree-zero line bundle is trivial, and H1(P1,O)=0. An integral projective curve of arithmetic genus zero is automatically smooth and rational by the normalization genus formula.
