Abstract: In this note, we show that the method of Croot, Lev, and Pach can be used to bound the size of a subset of Fqn with no three terms in arithmetic progression by cn with c<q. For q=3, the problem of finding the largest subset with no three terms in arithmetic progression is called the `cap problem'. Previously the best known upper bound for the cap problem, due to Bateman and Katz, was O(3n/n1+epsilon).
