Evasive subspaces

Abstract: Let

V

denote an

r

-dimensional vector space over

m a t h b b F_{q^{n}}

, the finite field of

q^{n}

elements. Then

V

is also an

r n

-dimension vector space over

m a t h b b F_{q}

. An

m a t h b b F_{q}

-subspace

U

of

V

is

(h, k)_{q}

-evasive if it meets the

h

-dimensional

m a t h b b F_{q^{n}}

-subspaces of

V

in

m a t h b b F_{q}

-subspaces of dimension at most

k

. The

(1, 1)_{q}

-evasive subspaces are known as scattered and they have been intensively studied in finite geometry, their maximum size has been proved to be

l f l o o r r n / 2 f l o o r

when

r n

is even or

n = 3

. We investigate the maximum size of

(h, k)_{q}

-evasive subspaces, study two duality relations among them and provide various constructions. In particular, we present the first examples, for infinitely many values of

q

, of maximum scattered subspaces when

r = 3

and

n = 5

. We obtain these examples in characteristics

2

,

3

and

5

.
