Abstract

A Besicovitch-Rado-Kinney (BRK) set in Rn\mathbb{R}^n is a Borel set that contains a (n1)(n-1)-dimensional sphere of radius rr, for each r>0r>0. It is known that such sets have Hausdorff dimension nn from the work of Kolasa and Wolff. In this paper, we consider an analogous problem over a finite field, Fq\mathbb{F}_q. We define BRK-type sets in Fqn\mathbb{F}_q^n, and establish lower bounds on the size of such sets using techniques introduced by Dvir's proof of the finite field Kakeya conjecture.
