On MSR Subspace Families of Lines

Abstract: A minimum storage regenerating (MSR) subspace family of

m a t h b b F_{q}^{2 m}

is a set

m a t h c a l S

of

m

-spaces in

m a t h b b F_{q}^{2 m}

such that for any

m

-space

S

in

m a t h c a l S

there exists an element in

m a t h r m P G L (2 m, q)

which maps

S

to itself and fixes

m a t h c a l S s e t m i n u s S

pointwise. We show that an MSR subspace family of

2

-spaces in

m a t h b b F_{q}^{4}

has at most size

6

with equality if and only if it is a particular subset of a Segre variety. This implies that an

(n, n - 2, 4)

-MSR code has

n l e q 9

.
