On point sets in vector spaces over finite fields that determine only acute angle triangles

Abstract: For three points

v e c u

,

v e c v

and

v e c w

in the

n

-dimensional space

F_{q}^{n}

over the finite field

F_{q}

of

q

elements we give a natural interpretation of an acute angle triangle defined by this points. We obtain an upper bound on the size of a set

c Z

such that all triples of distinct points

v e c u, v e c v, v e c w i n c Z

define acute angle triangles. A similar question in the real space

c R^{n}

dates back to P. Erd{H o}s and has been studied by several authors.
