Abstract

For certain families of functions {fq}\{f_q\} mapping KnvqKmK^{nv_q} \to K^m, where KK is a complete, nonarchimedean local field, we find a set EE of large Hausdorff dimension with the property that fq(x1,,xvq)f_q(x_1, \ldots, x_{v_q}) is nonzero for any distinct points x1,,xvqEx_1, \ldots, x_{v_q} \in E. In particular, this result can be applied to show that the ring of integers of any local field contains a subset of Hausdorff dimension 11 not containing any nondegenerate 3-term arithmetic progressions.
