In this paper we prove an incidence bound for points and cubic curves over prime fields. The methods generalise those used by Mohammadi, Pham, and Warren (2021).

The master theorem, introduced by Richter-Gebert and generalized by Fomin and the first author, provides a method for proving incidence theorems of projective geometry using triangular tilings of surfaces. We investigate which incidence…

We establish an aysmptotic formula for the number of points with coordinates in $\mb{F}_q[t]$ on a complete intersection of degree $d$ defined over $\mb{F}_q[t]$, with explicit error term, provided that the characteristic of $\mb{F}_q$ is…

We give various formulas to compute the number of all involutions, i.e. elements of order 2, in an incidence algebra $I(X,\mathbb{K})$, where $X$ is a finite poset (star, Y and Rhombuses) and $\mathbb{K}$ is a finite field of characteristic…

We use maximal entropy methods to examine the distribution properties of primitive integer points on spheres and of CM points on the modular surface. The proofs we give are a modern and dynamical interpretation of Linnik's original ideas…

Let $q=p^k$ be a prime power, let $n\geq2$ be an integer and let $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ be a finite field. It is shown that the set of primitive normal elements is a Salem set. Furthermore, it is proved that this set is strongly equidistributed…

We present an elementary method for proving enumeration formulas which are polynomials in certain parameters if others are fixed and factorize into distinct linear factors over Z. Roughly speaking the idea is to prove such formulas by…

We survey recent (and not so recent) results concerning arrangements of lines, points and other geometric objects and the applications these results have in theoretical computer science and combinatorics. The three main types of problems we…

This paper describes three methods for carrying out non-asymptotic inference on partially identified parameters that are solutions to a class of optimization problems. Applications in which the optimization problems arise include estimation…

We establish a pointwise convergence result for ergodic averages modeled along orbits of the form $(n\lfloor n\sqrt{k}\rfloor)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$, where $k$ is an arbitrary positive rational number with $\sqrt{k}\not\in\mathbb{Q}$. Namely,…

We explain how nonperturbative effects can be systematically included when constructing an effective field theory. We concentrate in particular on the matching calculation, by which a low energy theory without a heavy particle degree of…

We determine a necessary and sufficient condition for a polynomial over an algebraically closed field $k$ to induce a surjective map on matrix algebras $M_n(k)$ for $n \ge 2$. The criterion is given in terms of critical points and uses…

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 this paper, we study a point-hyper plane incidence theorem in matrix rings, which generalizes all previous works in literature of this direction.

Consider a quartic $q$-Weil polynomial $f$. Motivated by equidistribution considerations we define, for each prime $\ell$, a local factor which measures the relative frequency with which $f\bmod \ell$ occurs as the characteristic polynomial…

This paper focuses on incidences over finite fields, extending to higher degrees a result by Vinh \cite{VINH20111177} on the number of point-line incidences in the plane $\mathbb{F}^2$, where $\mathbb{F}$ is a finite field. Specifically, we…

In this paper, we will use the entropy approach to derive a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of an element that belongs to at least half of the sets in a finite family of sets.

In this short note, we study the distribution of spreads in a point set $\mathcal{P} \subseteq \mathbb{F}_q^d$, which are analogous to angles in Euclidean space. More precisely, we prove that, for any $\varepsilon > 0$, if $|\mathcal{P}|…

In this paper, we establish an analogue of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra for polynomial matrix equations, where both the coefficient matrices and the unknown matrix are $Q$-circulant matrices. This result generalizes Abramov's result…

We prove an incidence result counting the $k$-rich $\delta$-tubes induced by a well-spaced set of $\delta$-atoms. Our result coincides with the bound that would be heuristically predicted by the Szemer\'edi--Trotter Theorem and holds in all…
