Review text

The authors derive upper bounds for the number of points of complete caps in \(\text{PG} (n,q)\) for \(q\) odd and \(n\geq 3\). More precisely, they use upper bounds on the number of points of the second largest complete cap in \(\text{PG} (i,q)\), \(i=2,3\), to obtain upper bounds for the number of points of a complete cap in \(\text{PG} (i+1,q)\). Then, using a result of \textit{J. F. Voloch} [J. Geom. 38, No. 1/2, 198-200 (1990; Zbl 0707.51010)], one obtains new upper bounds for the number of points on a complete cap in \(\text{PG} (n,P)\), for \(n\geq 3\) and \(p\) prime.
