We study the extension estimates for paraboloids in d-dimensional vector spaces over finite fields F_q with q elements. We use the connection between L^2 based restriction estimates and L^p\to L^r extension estimates for paraboloids. As a…

This is an expository survey on recent sum-product results in finite fields. We present a number of sum-product or "expander" results that say that if $|A| > p^{2/3}$ then some set determined by sums and product of elements of $A$ is nearly…

In this paper, we prove the restriction estimates for 2D surfaces S:= {(xi1, xi2, xi1^3 +/- xi2^3) : (xi1, xi2) in [0,1]^2} by reducing to Wang-Wu's result on the perturbed paraboloid and to the results on the perturbed hyperboloid obtained…

We apply geometric incidence estimates in positive characteristic to prove the optimal $L^2 \to L^3$ Fourier extension estimate for the paraboloid in the four-dimensional vector space over a prime residue field. In three dimensions, when…

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 the finite field setting, we show that the restriction conjecture associated to any one of a large family of $d=2n+1$ dimensional quadratic surfaces implies the $n+1$ dimensional Kakeya conjecture (Dvir's theorem). This includes the case…

The restriction conjecture is one of the famous problems in harmonic analysis. There have been many methods developed in the study of the conjecture for the paraboloid. In this paper, we generalize the multilinear method of Bourgain and…

In this paper we study the $L^p-L^r$ boundedness of the extension operators associated with paraboloids in vector spaces over finite fields.In higher even dimensions, we estimate the number of additive quadruples in the subset $E$ of the…

The restriction and Kakeya problems in Euclidean space have received much attention in the last few decades, and are related to many problems in harmonic analysis, PDE, and number theory. In this paper we initiate the study of these…

In this paper, we prove the first incidence bound for points and conics over prime fields. As applications, we prove new results on expansion of bivariate polynomial images and on certain variations of distinct distances problems. These…

Incidence problems between geometric objects is a key area of focus in the field of discrete geometry. Among them, the study of incidence problems over finite fields have received a considerable amount of attention in recent years. In this…

We present a technique for deriving lower bounds for incidences with hypersurfaces in ${\mathbb R}^d$ with $d\ge 4$. These bounds apply to a large variety of hypersurfaces, such as hyperplanes, hyperspheres, paraboloids, and hypersurfaces…

We consider the adjoint restriction inequality associated to the hypersurface $\{(\tau, \xi) : \tau = \pm|\xi|^2, \;\xi \in \mathbb{R}^d\}$ at the Stein-Tomas exponent. Extremizers exist in all dimensions and extremizing sequences are…

We improve the Bennett--Carbery--Tao trilinear restriction estimate for subsets of the paraboloid in three dimensions, giving the sharp factor depending on the transversality.

In this paper we obtain a new lower bound on the Erd\H{o}s distinct distances problem in the plane over prime fields. More precisely, we show that for any set $A\subset \mathbb{F}_p^2$ with $|A|\le p^{7/6}$, the number of distinct distances…

This thesis establishes new quantitative records in several problems of incidence geometry and growth. After the necessary background in Chapters 1, 2 and 3, the following results are proven. Chapter 4 gives new results in the incidence…

We study restriction problem in vector spaces over finite fields. We obtain finite field analogue of Mockenhaupt-Mitsis-Bak-Seenger restriction theorem, and we show that the range of the exponentials is sharp.

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…

We give a new bound on the number of collinear triples for two arbitrary subsets of a finite field. This improves on existing results which rely on the Cauchy inequality. We then us this to provide a new bound on trilinear and quadrilinear…
