The study of counting point-hyperplane incidences in the $d$-dimensional space was initiated in the 1990's by Chazelle and became one of the central problems in discrete geometry. It has interesting connections to many other topics, such as…

Given a basic compact semi-algebraic set $\K\subset\R^n$, we introduce a methodology that generates a sequence converging to the volume of $\K$. This sequence is obtained from optimal values of a hierarchy of either semidefinite or linear…

We prove that if $E \subset {\mathbb F}_q^2$, $q \equiv 3 \mod 4$, has size greater than $Cq^{7/4}$, then $E$ determines a positive proportion of all congruence classes of triangles in ${\mathbb F}_q^2$. The approach in this paper is based…

We prove three theorems giving extremal bounds on the incidence structures determined by subsets of the points and blocks of a balanced incomplete block design (BIBD). These results generalize and strengthen known bounds on the number of…

Let $q$ be a power of a prime and $\mathbb{F}_q$ the finite field consisting of $q$ elements. We prove explicit upper bounds on the number of incidences between lines and Cartesian products in $\mathbb{F}_q^2$. We also use our results on…

In this paper we study the generalized Erdos-Falconer distance problems in the finite field setting. The generalized distances are defined in terms of polynomials, and various formulas for sizes of distance sets are obtained. In particular,…

Recent literature reports two sectional techniques, the finite volume method [Das et al., 2020, SIAM J. Sci. Comput., 42(6): B1570-B1598] and the fixed pivot technique [Kushwah et al., 2023, Commun. Nonlinear Sci. Numer. Simul., 121(37):…

We use recent advances in the theory of Furstenberg sets to prove new incidence results of Szemer\'edi--Trotter strength for $\delta$-discretized structures with Cartesian product flavor. We use these results to make progress on a number of…

Consider a $d\times d$ matrix $M$ whose rows are independent centered non-degenerate Gaussian vectors $\xi_1,...,\xi_d$ with covariance matrices $\Sigma_1,...,\Sigma_d$. Denote by $\mathcal{E}_i$ the location-dispersion ellipsoid of…

We prove almost tight bounds on incidences between points and $k$-dimensional varieties of bounded degree in $\R^d$. Our main tools are the Polynomial Ham Sandwich Theorem and induction on both the dimension and the number of points.

The intrinsic volumes of a convex body are fundamental invariants that capture information about the average volume of the projection of the convex body onto a random subspace of fixed dimension. The intrinsic volumes also play a central…

We establish half-space type results for a class of height-dependent weighted minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$, namely critical points of a weighted area functional whose weight depends on the height. When the weight has at most quadratic…

We prove a new upper bound for the number of incidences between points and lines in a plane over an arbitrary field $\mathbb{F}$, a problem first considered by Bourgain, Katz and Tao. Specifically, we show that $m$ points and $n$ lines in…

In this paper we study the cardinality of the dot product set generated by two subsets of vector spaces over finite fields. We notice that the results on the dot product problems for one set can be simply extended to two sets. Let E and F…

We prove a Szemer\'edi-Trotter type theorem and a sum-product estimate in the setting of finite quasifields. These estimates generalize results of the fourth author, of Garaev, and of Vu. We generalize results of Gyarmati and S\'ark\"ozy on…
