Abstract

We consider the Lp norms of sums of characteristic functions of affine subspaces of a vector space V over a finite field under certain restrictions on p, dim V and the dimensions of the subspaces involved. We investigate the conditions under which these norms are increased when the affine subspaces are replaced by their parallel translates passing through 0. Applications to extremal configurations for Kakeya maximal-type inequalities are given and open questions are raised.
