Abstract

Denote by $\mathcal{A}_p^k$ the Latin square of order $n=p^k$ formed by the Cayley table of the additive group $(\mathbb{Z}_p^k,+)$, where $p$ is an odd prime and $k$ is a positive integer. It is shown that for each $p$ there exists $Q>0$ such that for all sufficiently large $k$, the number of transversals in $\mathcal{A}_p^k$ exceeds $(nQ)^{\frac{n}{p(p-1)}}$.
