  • Let $α(\mathbb{F}_q^{d},p)$ be the maximum possible size of a point set in general position in a $p$-random subset of $\mathbb{F}_q^d$. We determine the order of magnitude of $α(\mathbb{F}_q^{d},p)$ up to a polylogarithmic factor by proving the balanced supersaturation conjecture of Balogh and Luo. Our result also resolves a conjecture implicitly posed by the first author, Liu, the second author and Zeng. In the course of our proof, we establish a lemma that demonstrates a ``structure vs. randomness'' phenomenon for point sets in finite-field linear spaces, which may be of independent interest.
