Ball's strong cylinder conjecture for p-divisible sets in finite affine 3-space
Ball's strong cylinder conjecture for p-divisible sets in finite affine 3-space
Let be a set of points, where is prime. The set is -divisible if every affine hyperplane in intersects in a number of points congruent to . A cylinder is the union of pairwise disjoint parallel lines. The strong cylinder conjecture. If is -divisible, then is a cylinder. The strong form replaces the directional hypothesis of the weak form by the algebraic condition of -divisibility; the source presents it as an open problem.
