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.

Review text

Let \(V\) be an \(r\)-dimensional vector space over a finite field of order \(q^n\). An \(F_q\)-subspace \(U\) of \(V\) is called \(h\)-scattered if \(U\) meets the \(h\)-dimensional subspacees of \(V\) in \(F_q\)-subspaces of dimension at most \(h\). In the paper, the authors prove the upper bound \(rn/(h+1)\) for the dimension of \(h\)-scattered subspaces where \(h>1\).
