Abstract: We propose an algebraic geometry framework for the Kakeya problem. We conjecture that for any polynomials $f,gin{F}_{q_0}[x,y]$ and any $F_q/F_{q_0}$, the image of the map $F_q^{3}o{F}_q^3$ given by $(s,x,y)mapsto(s,sx+f(x,y),sy+g(x,y))$ has size at least $frac{q}^{3}4-O(q^{5/2})$ and prove the special case when $f=f(x),g=g(y).$ We also prove it in the case $f=f(y),g=g(x)$ under the additional assumption $f^{\prime }(0)g^{\prime }(0)eq0$ when $f,g$ are both linearized. Our approach is based on a combination of Cauchy--Schwarz and Lang--Weil. The algebraic geometry inputs in the proof are various results concerning irreducibility of certain classes of multivariate polynomials.
