Furstenberg sets and Furstenberg schemes over finite fields

Jordan S. Ellenberg and Daniel Erman

Vol. 10 (2016), No. 7, 1415–1436
Abstract

We give a lower bound for the size of a subset of Fqn containing a rich k-plane in every direction, a k-plane Furstenberg set. The chief novelty of our method is that we use arguments on nonreduced subschemes and flat families to derive combinatorial facts about incidences between points and k-planes in space.
