Title
Minimal blocks of points with weight divisible by p over GF(p)
Abstract
We construct three families of minimal blocks over GF(p) where p is an odd prime. For example, we show that the points in rank-(2p-1) projective space PG(2p-2,p) with p coordinates equal to 1 and p-1 coordinates equal to 0 form a minimal 1-block over GF(p). The proofs use the Chevalley-Warning theorem about the number of zeros of polynomials over finite fields.
