Generalized vector space partitions

Abstract

A vector space partition P\mathcal{P} in Fqv\mathbb{F}_q^v is a set of subspaces such that every 11-dimensional subspace of Fqv\mathbb{F}_q^v is contained in exactly one element of P\mathcal{P}. Replacing "every point" by "every tt-dimensional subspace", we generalize this notion to vector space tt-partitions and study their properties. There is a close connection to subspace codes and some problems are even interesting and unsolved for the set case q=1q=1.
