We solve a problem conjectured by Cheriyan, giving sharp bounds for incidence of certain edge partitions of the connected graph on $n$-vertices. We briefly discuss the history of the problem and relation to node connectivity of strongly…

We adapt the approach of Rudnev, Shakan, and Shkredov to prove that in an arbitrary field $\mathbb{F}$, for all $A \subset \mathbb{F}$ finite with $|A| < p^{1/4}$ if $p:= Char(\mathbb{F})$ is positive, we have $$|A(A+1)| \gtrsim |A|^{11/9},…

In this note we prove an upper bound on the $\mathbb F_p$-rank of the incidence matrix of points and hyperplanes in $(\mathbb Z/p^k \mathbb Z)^n$, improving a recent bound of Laba and Trainer when $k$ is large.

We study configurations of $n$ points and $n$ lines that form $\Theta(n^{4/3})$ incidences, when the point set is a Cartesian product. We prove structural properties of such configurations, such that there exist many families of parallel…

The Erd\H{o}s distance problem concerns the least number of distinct distances that can be determined by $N$ points in the plane. The integer lattice with $N$ points is known as \textit{near-optimal}, as it spans $\Theta(N/\sqrt{\log(N)})$…

We introduce a new type of distinct distances result: a lower bound on the number of distances between points on a line and points on a two-dimensional strip. This can be seen as a generalization of the well-studied problems of distances…

A widely investigated subject in combinatorial geometry, originated from Erd\H{o}s, is the following. Given a point set $P$ of cardinality $n$ in the plane, how can we describe the distribution of the determined distances? This has been…

As a variant of the celebrated Szemer\'edi--Trotter theorem, Guth and Katz proved that $m$ points and $n$ lines in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with at most $\sqrt{n}$ lines in a common plane must determine at most $O(m^{1/2}n^{3/4})$ incidences for…

We obtain some asymptotic formulae (with power savings in their error terms) for the number of quadruples in the Cartesian product of an arbitrary set $A \subset \mathbf{R}$ and for the number of quintuplets in $A\times A$ for any subset…

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…
