A Density Version of a Geometric Ramsey Theorem

Abstract Let V be an n -dimensional affine space over the field with p d elements, p ≠ 2. Then for every e > 0 there is an n ( e ) such that if n = dim( V ) ⩾ n ( e ) then any subset of V with more than e | V | elements must contain 3 collinear points (i.e., 3 points lying in a one-dimensional affine subspace).
