P. Hrschfeld Receved October 3, 1994; Accepted October 25, 1996 Abstract. Hll [6] showed that the largest cap n PG(5, 3) has cardnalty 56. Usng ths cap t s easy to construct a cap of cardnalty 45 n AG(5, 3). Here we show that the sze of a cap n AG(5, 3) s bounded above by 48. We also gve an example of three dsjont 45-caps n AG(5, 3). Usng these two results we are able to prove that the Stener trple system AG(5, 3) s 6-chromatc, and so we exhbt the frst specfc example of a 6-chromatc Stener trple system. Keywords: caps, Stener trple systems, colourng Let F n 3 denote the vector space of dmenson n over F 3, the feld of order 3, and let AG(n, 3) be the set of all cosets of F n 3. Then AG(n, 3) s called the affne geometry of dmenson n over F 3.Fork=0,...,n,ak-flat of AG(n, 3) s a coset of a subspace of dmenson k. The ponts of AG(n, 3) are the 0-flats and they are dentfed wth the vectors of F n 3. The projectve geometry PG(n, 3) s defned as the space of equvalance classes (AG(n + 1, 3)\{ 0})/ where x y f c F 3 such that x = cy. Fork 0, the mage of a (k +1)-flat n AG(n, 3) s defned to be a k-flat of PG(n, 3). In both AG(n, 3) and PG(n, 3), the 1-flats are called lnes, the 2-flats are called planes and the (n 1)-flats are called hyperplanes. A subset of AG(n, 3) or PG(n, 3) s called a cap f no three of ts ponts are collnear,.e., f no three of ts ponts le n the same 1-flat. A cap of cardnalty k s called a k-cap. We wll need some results about the sze and structure of caps n AG(4, 3) and AG(5, 3). We denote by β(ag(n,3)) the largest nteger k for whch there exsts a k-cap n AG(n, 3). It s easy to see that β(ag(1,3)) = 2 and β(ag(2,3)) = 4. That β(ag(3,3)) = 9 s well known (see [8]). Pellegrno [9] showed that β(ag(4,3)) = 20. In ths paper we show that 45 β(ag(5,3)) 48. A Stener trple system of order v (an STS(v)) s a par S = (V (S), T ) where V (S) s a v-set and T s a collecton of trples (subsets of V (S) of cardnalty 3) such that each par of dstnct elements of S les n exactly one trple of T. It s well known that a STS(v) * Ths research s partally supported by NSERC Grants.
2 52 BRUEN, HADDAD AND WEHLAU exsts ff v 1 or 3 (mod 6), such an nteger s called admssble. Moreover t s easy to verfy that the set of all ponts of AG(n, 3) together wth ts lnes forms an STS(3 n ). An r-colourng of a STS, S = (V (S), T ), s a parttonng of the vertex set V (S) nto r dsjont subsets such that no trple of T s contaned entrely n one of these r subsets. If an STS(v), S, has an r-colourng but no (r 1)-colourng then we say that S s r-chromatc. We pont out n passng that the exstence of STS s wth prescrbed chromatc number r 5 s far from beng straghtforward and s shown (only) by non-constructve methods n [1], and moreover, the frst specfc example of a 5-chromatc STS s gven n [3]. It s often extremely hard to show that a gven STS cannot be k-coloured when k 4 (cf. the calculaton done n [3]). Here we wll gve a relatvely short proof that AG(5, 3) does not admt a 5-colourng. Let φ(n) denote the number of hyperplanes n AG(n, 3), and for j = 1, 2, let φ(j,n) denote the number of dstnct hyperplanes passng through j fxed ponts. It s well known (e.g., see [10]) that φ(2,n) = 3 n 3 3 n 1 3 n 2 3, φ(1,n) = 3 n 1 n 3 3n 2 3 n 1 3n 2, φ(n) = 3φ(1,n). Now f 3 ponts do not form a lne, then they determne a unque plane and there are (3 n 3 l ) 2 l n 2 (3 n 1 3 l ) dstnct hyperplanes through any plane n AG(n, 3) where n 4 (ths number s clearly one f n = 3). Let n 4 and C AG(n, 3) be a set of cardnalty t. For 0 t, defne n := {Ksuch that K s a hyperplane and K C =}. Consder the followng equatons (see [4] and [7]): Clearly n = 3 n 1 3 n 1 3 n 1 3 n 2 and countng the number of pars {p, K } where p s a pont of the hyperplane K and p C we fnd n = 3 n 2 3 n 1 3 n 1 3 n 2t. Now countng trples {p 1, p 2, K } such that K s a hyperplane and {p 1, p 2 } C Kgves ( ) n = 3 n 3 3 n ( ) 1 t. 2 3 n 2 3 n 3 2 Moreover suppose that the set C s a cap, then by countng quadruples {p 1, p 2, p 3, K } where K s a hyperplane and {p 1, p 2, p 3 } C Kwe obtan ( ) n = (3 n 3 l ( ) ) t. 3 (3 n 1 3 l ) 3 2 l n 2 Consder now a cubc polynomal ( P() := ( r 1 )( r 2 )( r 3 ). Then there are numbers a 3,...,a 0 such that P() = a ( 3 3) + a2 2) + a1 + a 0. Thus ( ) ( ) P()n = a 3 n + a 2 n + a 1 n +a 0 n 3 2
3 CAPS AND COLOURING STEINER TRIPLE SYSTEMS 53 = a 3 2 l n 2 (3 n 3 l ) (3 n 1 3 l ) ( ) t + a 2 3 n 3 3 n n 2 3 n 3 ( ) t 2 + a 1 3 n 2 3 n 1 3 n 1 3 t + a 03 n 1 3 n 1 n 2 3 n 1 3. n 2 Ths sum s a cubc polynomal of t, whch s denoted f P (t). We may use f P (t) to study C. For example we may choose the roots r 1, r 2 and r 3 of P() such that f n 0 then P() 0. Wth such a choce, f P (t) s necessarly nonnegatve and ths gves nformaton about the value of t. Now Pellegrno showed n [9] that the largest caps n PG(4, 3) have cardnalty 20. Snce one of the caps he constructed actually les n AG(4, 3) PG(4, 3), ths proved β(ag(4, 3)) = 20. In [5] Hll classfed all nonsomorphc 20-caps n PG(4, 3). Only one of the nequvalent 20-caps s contaned n an affne subspace of PG(4, 3), and ts ntersectons wth the 120 dfferent hyperplanes of AG(4, 3) gve the followng values for the n n 2 = 10, n 6 = 60, n 8 = 30, n 9 = 20 and n = 0 for n 2, 6, 8, 9. (1) A drect proof of these facts can be found n [7]. It follows easly from (1) that f C s a 20-cap n AG(4, 3), and L 1, L 2 and L 3 are three parallel hyperplanes, then { C L 1, C L 2, C L 3 } {{2, 9, 9}, {6, 6, 8}}. Moreover, n [6], Hll shows that the largest cap n PG(5, 3) has cardnalty 56 and ths cap s unque up to somorphsm. Ths fact s reported n the concluson of [2] where t s conjectured that β(ag(5,3)) = 45. We wll show that 45 β(ag(5,3)) 48. Hll showed that f C s hs 56-cap and H s any hyperplane of PG(5, 3) then C H {11, 20}. If we choose H wth C H =11 then C\(C H) s a 45-cap n (PG(5, 3)\H) = AG(5, 3). To prove that β(ag(5,3)) 48 we frst need the followng lemma. LEMMA 1 Let C be a 49-cap n AG(5, 3). Then there s a hyperplane H of AG(5, 3) such that C H =9. Proof. Frst note that there s no hyperplane H 0 such that C H 0 8, as otherwse one of the two hyperplanes parallel to H 0 would have to contan at least 21 elements of C. Consder now the polynomal P() := ( 11)( 17)( 18). Note that P() 0 for all ntegers 11. Thus n P 0 for all ntegers except possbly = 9, 10. Now P()n = f P (49) = 92. (2) Hence at least one of n 9 or n 10 s nonzero. Now f H 1 s any hyperplane such that C H 1 = 10, then the two hyperplanes H 2 and H 3 parallel to t satsfy { C H 2, C H 3 }={19, 20}. Thus n 19 n 10 and n 20 n 10. Suppose now that n 9 = 0. Then from (2) we have P(10)n 10 + P(19)n 19 + P(20)n 20 + A = 92, where A 0. As n 19 n 10 and n 20 n 10, P(10) = 56, P(19) = 16 and P(20) = 54, we deduce that 92 P(10)n 10 + P(19)n 19 + P(20)n 20 P(10)n 10 + P(19)n 10 + P(20)n 10 = ( )n 10,a contradcton. Hence n 9 0.
4 54 BRUEN, HADDAD AND WEHLAU LEMMA 2 β(ag(5,3)) 48 Proof. Let C be a cap n AG(5, 3) of sze 49. By the lemma above, there s a hyperplane H 1 such that C H 1 =9. Now the two hyperplanes H 2 and H 3 parallel to H 1 satsfy C H 2 = C H 3 =20, and thus C H s a maxmal cap of H for = 2, 3. Take K 1 another hyperplane wth K 2 and K 3 the two hyperplanes parallel to K 1, and defne L j := H K j = AG(3,3) for 1, j 3. In addton to H = L 1 L 2 L 3 and K j = L 1 j L 2 j L 3 j we wll also consder the 6 hyperplanes L(, j, k) := L 1 L 2 j L 3k where {, j, k} ={1, 2, 3}. Choose K 1 so that C L 21 =2. From (1), we have that ( C L 21, C L 22, C L 23 ) = (2, 9, 9). Moreover, as mentoned earler, we have { C L 31, C L 32, C L 33 } {{2, 9, 9}, {6, 6, 8}}. Suppose frst that ( C L 31, C L 32, C L 33 ) = (6, 6, 8). Then consderng L(1, 2, 3) we see that C L 11 3and by (1) equalty cannot hold, thus C L Smlarly, consderng K 3 shows that C L 13 2, and thus C L Thus the hyperplane K 2 ether contans at least 21 elements of C or meets C n 20 ponts ncludng exactly 5 ponts lyng n the hyperplane L 12 of K 2, contradctng (1). The cases ( C L 31, C L 32, C L 33 ) {(8,6,6), (6, 8, 6)} are smlar. On the other hand f ( C L 31, C L 32, C L 33 ) = (2, 9, 9), usng L(1, 2, 3), L 2 and L 3 we see that C L 1 j 2for j = 1, 2, 3 a contradcton wth C H 1 =9. The cases ( C L 31, C L 32, C L 33 ) {(9,2,9), (9, 9, 2)} are smlar. COROLLARY 3 The STS(243) AG(5, 3) cannot be 5-coloured. Proof. Assume that AG(5, 3) = C 1 C 2 C 3 C 4 C 5 s a 5-colourng of AG(5, 3) wth C 1 C for = 2, 3, 4, 5. Snce AG(5, 3) =243, we see that C 1 s a cap contanng at least 243 =49 ponts. 5 THEOREM 4 AG(5, 3) s a 6-chromatc STS(243). Proof. The mathematcal software MapleV was used to dscover the followng three parwse dsjont 45-caps C 1, C 2 and C 3 of AG(5, 3). Then a computer program was used to 3-colour the partal STS obtaned by restrctng AG(5, 3) to the 108 = 243 3(45) remanng ponts. We obtaned the followng 6-colourng of AG(5, 3).
