Ubiquity of simplices in subsets of vector spaces over finite fields

Classical Analysis and ODEs 2007-10-11 v2 Combinatorics

Abstract

We prove that a sufficiently large subset of the dd-dimensional vector space over a finite field with qq elements, Fqd {\Bbb F}_q^d, contains a copy of every kk-simplex. Fourier analytic methods, Kloosterman sums, and bootstrapping play an important role.
