We introduce the theory of div point sets, which aims to provide a framework to study the combinatoric nature of any set of points in general position on an Euclidean plane. We then show that proving the unsatisfiability of some first-order…

We modify an argument of Hablicsek and Scherr to show that if a collection of points in $\mathbb{C}^d$ spans many $r$--rich lines, then many of these lines must lie in a common $(d-1)$--flat. This is closely related to a previous result of…

We generalize the Guth--Katz joints theorem from lines to varieties. A special case says that $N$ planes (2-flats) in 6 dimensions (over any field) have $O(N^{3/2})$ joints, where a joint is a point contained in a triple of these planes not…

Let $L$ be a set of $n$ lines in $\reals^d$, for $d\ge 3$. A {\em joint} of $L$ is a point incident to at least $d$ lines of $L$, not all in a common hyperplane. Using a very simple algebraic proof technique, we show that the maximum…

We provide a simple method and relevant theoretical analysis for efficiently estimating higher-order lp distances. While the analysis mainly focuses on l4, our methodology extends naturally to p = 6,8,10..., (i.e., when p is even).…

An L(2, 1)-labeling of a graph is an assignment of nonnegative integers to the vertices of G such that adjacent vertices receive numbers differed by at least 2, and vertices at distance 2 are assigned distinct numbers. The L(2, 1)-labeling…

This thesis is devoted to studying estimates of the least common multiple of some integer sequences. Our study focuses on effective bounding of the $\mathrm{lcm}$ of some class of quadratic sequences, as well as arithmetic progressions and…

In 1961, P. Erd\H{o}s, A. Ginzburg, and A. Ziv proved a remarkable theorem stating that each set of $2n-1$ integers contains a subset of size $n$, the sum of whose elements is divisible by $n$. We will prove a similar result for pairs of…

We prove new bounds on the dimensions of distance sets and pinned distance sets of planar sets. Among other results, we show that if $A\subset\mathbb{R}^2$ is a Borel set of Hausdorff dimension $s>1$, then its distance set has Hausdorff…

The Erd\H{o}s distinct distance problem is a ubiquitous problem in discrete geometry. Somewhat less well known is Erd\H{o}s' distinct angle problem, the problem of finding the minimum number of distinct angles between $n$ non-collinear…

Consider a set $X\subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ which is 1-dense, namely, it intersects every unit ball. We show that we can get from any point to any other point in $\mathbb{R}^d$ in $n$ steps so that the intermediate points are in $X$, and the…

We consider a generic family of polynomial maps $f:=(f_1,f_2):\mathbb{C}^2\rightarrow\mathbb{C}^2$ with given supports of polynomials, and degree $ d(f):=\max (deg f_1, deg f_2)$. We show that the (non-) properness of maps $f$ in this…

In this paper we investigate the Erd\"os/Falconer distance conjecture for a natural class of sets statistically, though not necessarily arithmetically, similar to a lattice. We prove a good upper bound for spherical means that have been…

For any integer $l\geq 1$, let $p_1, p_2, \ldots, p_{l+2}$ be distinct prime numbers $\geq 5.$ For all real numbers $X>1,$ we let $N_{3,l}(X)$ denote the number of real quadratic fields $K$ whose absolute discriminant $d_K\leq X$ and $d_K$…

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in general position in the plane. Let $R$ be a set of points disjoint from $P$ such that for every $x,y \in P$ the line through $x$ and $y$ contains a point in $R$. We show that if $|R| < \frac{3}{2}n$ and $P…

According to a classical result of Szemer\'{e}di, every dense subset of $1,2,...,N$ contains an arbitrary long arithmetic progression, if $N$ is large enough. Its analogue in higher dimensions due to F\"urstenberg and Katznelson says that…

We obtain box-counting estimates for the pinned distance sets of (dense subsets of) planar discrete Ahlfors-regular sets of exponent $s>1$. As a corollary, we improve upon a recent result of Orponen, by showing that if $A$ is…

Given any line in the plane, we strengthen the Littlewood conjecture by two logarithms for almost every point on the line, thereby generalising the fibre result of Beresnevich, Haynes, and Velani. To achieve this, we prove an effective…

We extend a global uniqueness result for the Calder\'on problem with partial data, due to Kenig-Sj\"ostrand-Uhlmann, to the case of less regular conductivities. Specifically, we show that in dimensions $n\ge 3$, the knowledge of the…

This paper proves that if points $Z_1,Z_2,...$ are chosen independently and identically using some measure $\mu$ from the unit circle in the complex plane, with $p_n(z) = (z-Z_1)(z-Z_2)...(z-Z_n)$, then the empirical distribution of the…
