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 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 generalize an inequality of E. Heintze and H. Karcher [8] for the volume of tubes around minimal submanifolds to an inequality based on integral bounds for $k$-Ricci curvature. Even in the case of a pointwise bound, this generalizes the…

This note complements a recent paper of Chatzakos, Harcos and Kaneko \cite{CHK}. We use a Dirichlet style Prime Geodesic Theorem to improve the error term estimate in loc. cit. at the cost of lowering the resolution. The proof relies on the…

We prove several incidence theorems in vector spaces over finite fields using bounds for various classes of exponential sums and apply these to Erdos-Falconer type distance problems.

We consider a long Lorentz tube with absorbing boundaries. Particles are injected to the tube from the left end. We compute the equilibrium density profiles in two cases: the semi-infinite tube (in which case the density is constant) and a…

We formulate a finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) approach to simulate electromagnetic wave scattering from scatterers embedded in layered dielectric or dispersive media. At the heart of our approach is a derivation of an equivalent…

We improve the theorem of Beck giving a lower bound on the number of $k$-flats spanned by a set of points in real space, and improve the bound of Elekes and T\'oth on the number of incidences between points and $k$-flats in real space.

We show that a twist of a three-dimensional tube of uniform cross-section yields an improved decay rate for the heat semigroup associated with the Dirichlet Laplacian in the tube. The proof employs Hardy inequalities for the Dirichlet…

We study a lower bound for the constant of the Szemer\'edi-Trotter theorem. In particular, we show that a recent infinite family of point-line configurations satisfies $I({\mathcal P},{\mathcal L})\ge (c+o(1)) |{\mathcal P}|^{2/3}|{\mathcal…

Let $A$ be a subset of a finite field $F := \Z/q\Z$ for some prime $q$. If $|F|^\delta < |A| < |F|^{1-\delta}$ for some $\delta > 0$, then we prove the estimate $|A+A| + |A.A| \geq c(\delta) |A|^{1+\eps}$ for some $\eps = \eps(\delta) > 0$.…

We develop a analytical and quantitative theory of the tube model concept for entangled networks of semiflexible polymers. The absolute value of the tube diameter L_perp is derived as a function of the polymers' persistence length l_p and…

Tao conjectured that every dense subset of $\mathcal{P}^d$, the $d$-tuples of primes, contains constellations of any given shape. This was very recently proved by Cook, Magyar, and Titichetrakun and independently by Tao and Ziegler. Here we…
