Abstract

We use methods from spectral graph theory to obtain bounds on the number of incidences between kk-planes and hh-planes in Fqd\mathbb{F}_q^d which generalize a recent result given by Bennett, Iosevich, and Pakianathan (2014). More precisely, we prove that the number of incidences between a set P\mathcal{P} of kk-planes and a set H\mathcal{H} of hh-planes with h2k+1h\ge 2k+1, which is denoted by I(P,H)I(\mathcal{P},\mathcal{H}), satisfies I(P,H)PHq(dh)(k+1)q(dh)h+k(2hdk+1)2PH.\left\vert I(\mathcal{P},\mathcal{H})-\frac{|\mathcal{P}||\mathcal{H}|}{q^{(d-h)(k+1)}}\right\vert \lesssim q^{\frac{(d-h)h+k(2h-d-k+1)}{2}}\sqrt{|\mathcal{P}||\mathcal{H}|}.
