On Magic Finite Projective Space

Abstract

This paper studies a generalization of magic squares to finite projective space Pn(q)\mathbb{P}^n(q). We classify at all functions from Pn(q)\mathbb{P}^n(q) into a finite field where the sum along any rr-flat is 00. In doing so we show connections to elementary number theory and the modular representation theory of GL(n,q)\operatorname{GL}(n,q).
