qq-analogue of the Erdős–Chvátal simplex conjecture

From papers

Let Fqn\mathbb{F}_q^n be the nn-dimensional vector space over the finite field with qq elements, and let a dd-simplex of kk-dimensional subspaces mean the corresponding configuration with empty total intersection and nonempty intersection for every dd-member subcollection. qq-analogue Erdős–Chvátal simplex conjecture. If kd+13k\geq d+1\geq3, nk(d+1)dn\geq\frac{k(d+1)}{d}, and V\mathcal{V} is a family of kk-dimensional subspaces of Fqn\mathbb{F}_q^n with no dd-simplex, then

Vqnk[n1k1]=[nk][n1k].|\mathcal{V}|\leq q^{n-k}\genfrac{[}{]}{0pt}{}{n-1}{k-1}=\genfrac{[}{]}{0pt}{}{n}{k}-\genfrac{[}{]}{0pt}{}{n-1}{k}.

The paper explicitly presents this as an open problem and as a qq-analogue of the Erdős–Chvátal simplex conjecture.
