Let p be a prime, and let Zp denote the field of integers modulo p. The Nathanson height of a point v ∈ Z p is the sum of the least nonnegative integer representatives of its coordinates. The Nathanson height of a subspace V ⊆ Z p is the least Nathanson height of any of its nonzero points. In this paper, we resolve a conjecture of Nathanson [M. B. Nathanson, Heights on the finite projective lin...
