Abstract

A (k,kt)(k,k-t)-SCID (set of Subspaces with Constant Intersection Dimension) is a set of kk-dimensional vector spaces that have pairwise intersections of dimension ktk-t. Let C={π1,,πn}\mathcal{C}=\{\pi_1,\ldots,\pi_n\} be a (k,kt)(k,k-t)-SCID. Define S:=π1,,πnS:=\langle \pi_1, \ldots, \pi_n \rangle and I:=πiπj1i<jnI:=\langle \pi_i \cap \pi_j \mid 1 \leq i < j \leq n \rangle. We establish several upper bounds for dimS+dimI\dim S + \dim I in different situations. We give a spectrum result for the case (n1)(kt)k(n-1)(k-t)\leq k and for the case nqt(nη)1qt1n\leq\frac{q^{t(n-\eta)}-1}{q^t-1}, giving examples of (k,kt)(k,k-t)-SCIDs reaching a large interval of values for dimS+dimI\dim S + \dim I.
