We prove new incidence bounds between a plane point set, which is a Cartesian product, and a set of translates $H$ of the hyperbola $xy=\lambda\neq 0$, over a field of asymptotically large positive characteristic $p$. They improve recent…

We present an elementary approach to prove restriction theorems for particular surfaces for which the Tomas-Stein theorem does not apply, which in turn provide short proofs for well-known Strichartz estimates for associated PDEs. The method…

Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis, we derive explicit bounds for the error terms in short interval analogues of the prime number theorem and Mertens' theorems using a smoothing argument. Our results improve upon previous bounds in both…

The famous Szemer\'{e}di-Trotter theorem states that any arrangement of $n$ points and $n$ lines in the plane determines $O(n^{4/3})$ incidences, and this bound is tight. In this paper, we prove the following Tur\'an-type result for…

For integers $k$ and $\ell$, let $\operatorname{ind}(k, \ell)$ be the maximum proportion of $k$-vertex subsets of a large graph that induce exactly $\ell$ edges. The edge-statistics theorem (conjectured by Alon-Hefetz-Krivelevich-Tyomkyn,…

In this paper we study the boundedness of extension operators associated with spheres in vector spaces over finite fields.In even dimensions, we estimate the number of incidences between spheres and points in the translated set from a…

In this paper we study the number of incidences between $m$ points and $n$ varieties in $\mathbb{F}^d$, where $\mathbb{F}$ is an arbitrary field, assuming the incidence graph contains no copy of $K_{s,s}$. We also consider the analogous…

We prove essentially sharp incidence estimates for a collection of $\delta$-tubes and $\delta$-balls in the plane, where the $\delta$-tubes satisfy an $\alpha$-dimensional spacing condition and the $\delta$-balls satisfy a…

We give a brief exposition of the proof of the Cayley-Salmon theorem and its recent role in incidence geometry. Even when we don't use the properties of ruled surfaces explicitly, the regime in which we have interesting results in…

We prove the first inverse theorem for point--sphere incidence bounds over finite fields in dimensions $d \ge 3$, showing that near-extremality forces algebraic rigidity. While sharp upper bounds have been known for over a decade, the…

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 derive a general upper bound for the number of incidences with $k$-dimensional varieties in ${\mathbb R}^d$. The leading term of this new bound generalizes previous bounds for the special cases of $k=1, k=d-1,$ and $k= d/2$, to every…

We adapt an argument of Tao and Vu to show that if $\lambda_1\le\cdots\le\lambda_d$ are the successive minima of an origin-symmetric convex body $K$ with respect to some lattice $\Lambda<\mathbb{R}^d$, and if we set…

We present two applications of recent developments in incidence geometry. One is a $\delta$-discretised version of a particular `Elekes--R\'onyai' expander problem. The second application is an incidence estimate addressing the scenario…

In this paper, we prove a new point-sphere incidence bound in vector spaces over finite fields. More precisely, let $P$ be a set of points and $S$ be a set of spheres in $\mathbb{F}_q^d$. Suppose that $|P|, |S|\le N$, we prove that the…

We improve known upper bounds for the minimal dispersion of a point set in the unit cube and its inverse in both the periodic and non-periodic settings. Some of our bounds are sharp up to logarithmic factors.

We consider the problem of bounding the number of exceptional projections (projections which are smaller than typical) of a subset of a vector space over a finite field onto subspaces. We establish bounds that depend on $L^p$ estimates for…

The edge-of-the-wedge theorem in several complex variables gives the analytic continuation of functions defined on the poly upper half plane and the poly lower half plane, the set of points in $\mathbb{C}^d$ with all coordinates in the…

We provide a new construction for a set of boxes approximating axis-parallel boxes of fixed volume in $[0, 1]^d$. This improves upper bounds for the minimal dispersion of a point set in the unit cube and its inverse in both the periodic and…

We study the restriction of the Fourier transform to quadratic surfaces in vector spaces over finite fields. In two dimensions, we obtain the sharp result by considering the sums of arbitrary two elements in the subset of quadratic surfaces…
