We prove that PG(2,8) does not contain minimal blocking sets of size 14. Using this result we prove that 58 is the largest size for a maximal partial spread of PG(3,8). This support the conjecture that q^2-q+2 is the largest size for a maximal partial spread of PG(3,q), q>7.

Abstract

We prove that PG(2,8) does not contain minimal blocking sets of size 14. Using this result we prove that 58 is the largest size for a maximal partial spread of PG(3,8). This support the conjecture that q^2-q+2 is the largest size for a maximal partial spread of PG(3,q), q>7.
