We give some variants of a new construction for caps. As an application of these constructions we obtain a 1216-cap in PG(9,3) a 6464-cap in PG(11,3) and several caps in ternary affine spaces of larger dimension, which lead to better asymptotics than the caps constructed by Calderbank and Fishburn. These asymptotic improvements become visible in dimensions as low as 62, whereas the bound from Calderbank and Fishburn is based on caps in dimension 13,500.
The capsets and admissible sets mentioned in the paper can be found here.
