Abstract: Let $V$ be an $r$-dimensional $mathbb{F}_{q^n}$-vector space. We call an $mathbb{F}_q$-subspace $U$ of $V$ $h$-scattered if $U$ meets the $h$-dimensional $mathbb{F}_{q^n}$-subspaces of $V$ in $mathbb{F}_q$-subspaces of dimension at most $h$. In 2000 Blokhuis and Lavrauw proved that $di{m}_{mathbb{F}_q}Uleqrn/2$ when $U$ is $1$-scattered. Subspaces attaining this bound have been investigated intensively because of their relations with projective two-weight codes and strongly regular graphs. MRD-codes with a maximum idealiser have also been linked to $rn/2$-dimensional $1$-scattered subspaces and to $n$-dimensional $(r-1)$-scattered subspaces. In this paper we prove the upper bound $rn/(h+1)$ for the dimension of $h$-scattered subspaces, $h>1$, and construct examples with this dimension. We study their intersection numbers with hyperplanes, introduce a duality relation among them, and study the equivalence problem of the corresponding linear sets.
