The minimum volume of subspace trades

Publication date 18 September 2017

Abstract: A subspace bitrade of type

T_{q} (t, k, v)

is a pair

(T_{0}, T_{1})

of two disjoint nonempty collections of

k

-dimensional subspaces of a

v

-dimensional space

V

over the finite field of order

q

such that every

t

-dimensional subspace of

V

is covered by the same number of subspaces from

T_{0}

and

T_{1}

. In a previous paper, the minimum cardinality of a subspace

T_{q} (t, t + 1, v)

bitrade was established. We generalize that result by showing that for admissible

v

,

t

, and

k

, the minimum cardinality of a subspace

T_{q} (t, k, v)

bitrade does not depend on

k

. An example of a minimum bitrade is represented using generator matrices in the reduced echelon form. For

t = 1

, the uniqueness of a minimum bitrade is proved.
