We study the dual variants of the Erd\H{o}s's distinct distances and unit distance problems. Instead of considering distances determined by points, we consider simplex volumes determined by hyperplanes. We investigate: (1) the maximum…

We prove a point-wise and average bound for the number of incidences between points and hyper-planes in vector spaces over finite fields. While our estimates are, in general, sharp, we observe an improvement for product sets and sets…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field of order $q$ and $E\subset \mathbb{F}_q^d$, where $4|d$. Using Fourier analytic techniques, we prove that if $|E|>\frac{q^{d-1}}{d}\binom{d}{d/2}\binom{d/2}{d/4}$, then the points of $E$ determine a…

We prove that for $1\le k<d$, if $E$ is a Borel subset of $\mathbb{R}^d$ of Hausdorff dimension strictly larger than $k$, the set of $(k+1)$-volumes determined by $k+2$ points in $E$ has positive one-dimensional Lebesgue measure. In the…

We study the Erd\"os/Falconer distance problem in vector spaces over finite fields. Let ${\Bbb F}_q$ be a finite field with $q$ elements and take $E \subset {\Bbb F}^d_q$, $d \ge 2$. We develop a Fourier analytic machinery, analogous to…

For a set $P$ of $n$ points in $\mathbb R^d$, for any $d\ge 2$, a hyperplane $h$ is called $k$-rich with respect to $P$ if it contains at least $k$ points of $P$. Answering and generalizing a question asked by Peyman Afshani, we show that…

Using Fourier analysis, Covert, Hart, Iosevich and Uriarte-Tuero (2008) showed that if the cardinality of a subset of the 2-dimensional vector space over a finite field with q elements is >= rq^2, with q^{-1/2} << r <= 1 then it contains an…

In this paper we investigate the problem of finding the maximum volume polytopes, inscribed in the unit sphere of the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space, with a given number of vertices. We solve this problem for polytopes with $d+2$ vertices…

We prove that at differentiability points $r_0>0$ of the volume function of a compact set $A\subset {\mathbb R}^d$ (associating to $r$ the volume of the $r$-parallel set of $A$), the surface area measures of $r$-parallel sets of $A$…

Let $P$ be a finite set of points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ or $\mathbb{C}^d$. We answer a question of Purdy on the conditions under which the number of hyperplanes spanned by $P$ is at least the number of $(d-2)$-flats spanned by $P$. In answering…

Let $A$ be a subvariety of affine space $\mathbb{A}^n$ whose irreducible components are $d$-dimensional linear or affine subspaces of $\mathbb{A}^n$. Denote by $D(A)\subset\mathbb{N}^n$ the set of exponents of standard monomials of $A$. We…

We prove that the number of geometrically indecomposable representations of fixed dimension vector d of a canonical algebra C defined over a finite field Fq is given by a polynomial in q (depending on C and d). We prove a similar result for…

For natural numbers $n$ and $l > d \geq 2$, let $ES_d(l,n)$ be the minimum $N$ such that any set of at least $N$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ contains either $l$ points contained in a common $(d-1)$-dimensional hyperplane or $n$ points in…

A vector $(v_{1}, v_{2}, \cdots, v_{d})$ in $\mathbb{Z}_n^{d}$ is said to be a zero-sum-free $d$-tuple if there is no non-empty subset of its components whose sum is zero in $\mathbb{Z}_n$. We denote the cardinality of this collection by…

In this paper we study the kaleidoscopic pseudo-randomness of finite Euclidean graphs using probabilistic methods. Roughly speaking, we show that sufficiently large subsets of d-dimensional vector spaces over finite fields contain every…

Let F_q be a finite field with odd q elements. In this article, we prove that if E \subseteq \mathbb F_q^d, d\ge 2, and |E|\ge q, then there exists a set Y \subseteq \mathbb F_q^d with |Y|\sim q^d$ such that for all y\in Y, the number of…

Let $(P,E)$ be a $(d+1)$-uniform geometric hypergraph, where $P$ is an $n$-point set in general position in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and $E\subseteq {P\choose d+1}$ is a collection of $\epsilon{n\choose d+1}$ $d$-dimensional simplices with vertices…

A Diophantine $m$-tuple over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ is a set $\{a_1,\ldots, a_m\}$ of $m$ distinct elements in $\mathbb{F}_{q}^{*}$ such that $a_{i}a_{j}+1$ is a square in $\mathbb{F}_q$ whenever $i\neq j$. In this paper, we study…

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in real projective $d$-space, not all contained in a hyperplane, such that any $d$ points span a hyperplane. An ordinary hyperplane of $P$ is a hyperplane containing exactly $d$ points of $P$. We show that if…
