Upper Bounds for $s$-Distance Subspaces

Abstract

As a generalization of equiangular lines, equiangular subspaces were first systematically studied by Balla, Dr\"{a}xler, Keevash and Sudakov in 2017. In this paper, we extend their work to $s$-distance subspaces, i.e., to sets of $k$-dimensional subspaces in $\mathbb{R}^n$ whose pairwise distances take $s$ distinct values. We establish upper bounds on the maximum cardinality of such sets. In particular, our bounds generalize and improve results of Balla and Sudakov.
