We prove the dp-finite case of the Shelah conjecture on NIP fields. If K is a dp-finite field, then K admits a non-trivial definable henselian valuation ring, unless K is finite, real closed, or algebraically closed. As a consequence, the…
We prove that the finite field Fourier extension operator for the paraboloid is bounded from $L^2\to L^r$ for $r\geq \frac{2d+4}{d}$ in even dimensions $d\ge 8$, which is the optimal $L^2$ estimate. For $d=6$ we obtain the optimal range $r>…
It is known that under some transversality and curvature assumptions on the hypersurfaces involved, the bilinear restriction estimate holds true with better exponents than what would trivially follow from the corresponding linear estimates.…
In this dissertation we define a generalization of Kakeya sets in certain metric spaces. Kakeya sets in Euclidean spaces are sets of zero Lebesgue measure containing a segment of length one in every direction. A famous conjecture, known as…
For a finite vector space $V$ and a non-negative integer $r\le\dim V$ we estimate the smallest possible size of a subset of $V$, containing a translate of every $r$-dimensional subspace. In particular, we show that if $K\subset V$ is the…
We prove global Fourier restriction estimates for elliptic, or two-sheeted, hyperboloids of arbitrary dimension $d \geq 2$, extending recent joint work with Oliveira e Silva and Stovall. Our results are unconditional in the (adjoint)…
If the non-commutative L p space of SLn(Z) has the completely bounded approximation property for some non-trivial value of p, then some form of the Kakeya conjecture holds in dimension d, for all d $\le$ n+1 2 . The proof relies on a…
We propose to study the restriction conjecture using decoupling theorems and two-ends Furstenberg inequalities. Specifically, we pose a two-ends Furstenberg conjecture, which implies the restriction conjecture. As evidence, we prove this…
The Zygmund vector field maximal function conjecture is a long-standing open problem. This paper establishes a new boundedness criterion that significantly weakens the existing conditions in the literature. Specifically, the required decay…
In this article, we study the problem of obtaining Lebesgue space inequalities for the Fourier restriction operator associated to rectangular pieces of the paraboloid and perturbations thereof. We state a conjecture for the dependence of…
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…
A two-dimensional Besicovitch set over a finite field is a subset of the finite plane containing a line in each direction. In this paper, we conjecture a sharp lower bound for the size of such a subset and prove some results toward this…
A Kakeya set in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is a compact set that contains a unit line segment $I_e$ in each direction $e \in S^{n-1}$. The Kakeya conjecture states that any Kakeya set in $\mathbb{R}^n$ has Hausdorff dimension $n$. We consider a…
We stduy $L^p-L^r$ restriction estimates for algebraic varieties $V$ in the case when restriction operators act on radial functions in the finite field setting. We show that if the varieties $V$ lie in odd dimensional vector spaces over…
Restriction is a natural quasi-order on $d$-way tensors. We establish a remarkable aspect of this quasi-order in the case of tensors over a fixed finite field -- namely, that it is a well-quasi-order: it admits no infinite antichains and no…
We state and prove an analogue of the Kakeya conjecture for the local field $\mathbb{F}_q(\!(t)\!)$. This extends Arsovski's result on the Kakeya conjecture to local fields of positive characteristic. We also prove the Kakeya maximal…
A Kakeya set in $\mathbb{F}_q^n$ is a set containing a line in every direction. We show that every Kakeya set in $\mathbb{F}_q^n$ has density at least $1/2^{n-1}$, matching the construction by Dvir, Kopparty, Saraf and Sudan.
In Fourier restriction problems, a cone and a paraboloid are model surfaces. The sharp bilinear cone restriction estimate was first shown by Wolff, and later the endpoint was obtained by Tao. For a paraboloid, the sharp $L^2$ bilinear…
The Tate conjecture for squares of K3 surfaces over finite fields was recently proved by Ito-Ito-Koshikawa. We give a more geometric proof when the characteristic is at least 5. The main idea is to use twisted derived equivalences between…
It is a theorem of Ribet that an abelian variety defined over a number field $K$ has only finitely many torsion points with values in the maximal cyclotomic extension field $K^{\mathrm{cyc}}$ of $K$. Recently, R\"ossler and Szamuely…
