Abstract: Let $mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field of order $q$, where $q$ is an odd prime power. A quadratic subspace $(W,Q)$ of $(mathbb{F}_q^n,x_1^2+x_2^2+cdots+x_n^2)$ is called dot${}_k$-subspace if $Q$ is isometrically isomorphic to $x_1^2+x_2^2+cdots+x_k^2$. In this paper, we obtain bounds for the number of incidences $I(mathcalK,mathcalH)$ between a collection $mathcalK$ of dot${}_k$-subspaces and a collection $mathcalH$ of dot${}_h$-subspaces when $hgeq4k-4$, which is given by [left | I(mathcal{K},mathcal{H})-frac{|mathcal{K}||mathcal{H}|}{q^{k(n-h)}} ight | lesssim q^{frac{k(2h-n-2k+4)+h(n-h-1)-2}{2}}sqrt{|mathcal{K}||mathcal{H}|}. ] In particular, we improve the error term obtained by Phuong, Thang and Vinh (2019) for general collections of affine subspaces in the presence of our additional conditions.
