We give an overview of recent progress around a problem introduced by Elekes and R\'onyai. The prototype problem is to show that a polynomial $f\in \mathbb{R}[x,y]$ has a large image on a Cartesian product $A\times B\subset \mathbb{R}^2$,…

In this paper, we investigate Erd\H os--Ko--Rado type theorems for families of vectors from $\{0,\pm 1\}^n$ with fixed numbers of $+1$'s and $-1$'s. Scalar product plays the role of intersection size. In particular, we sharpen our earlier…

The symmetric case of the Szemer\'edi-Trotter theorem says that any configuration of $N$ lines and $N$ points in the plane has at most $O(N^{4/3})$ incidences. We describe a recipe involving just $O(N^{1/3})$ parameters which sometimes…
