Let $F$ be a field with positive odd characteristic $p$. We prove a variety of new sum-product type estimates over $F$. They are derived from the theorem that the number of incidences between $m$ points and $n$ planes in the projective…

We study the following variant of the Erd\H{o}s distance problem. Given $E$ and $F$ a point sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and $p = (p_1, \ldots, p_q)$ with $p_1+ \cdots + p_q = d$ is an increasing partition of $d$ define $$ B_p(E,F)=\{(|x_1-y_1|,…

In this paper, we show how one may (efficiently) construct two types of extremal combinatorial objects whose existence was previously conjectural. (*) Panchromatic Graphs: For fixed integer k, a k-panchromatic graph is, roughly speaking, a…

Let f1, ..., fs be a polynomial family in Q[X1,..., Xn] (with s less than n) of degree bounded by D. Suppose that f1, ..., fs generates a radical ideal, and defines a smooth algebraic variety V. Consider a projection P. We prove that the…

In this paper, we prove the Shafarevich conjecture for certain complete intersections of hypersurfaces in abelian varieties defined over a number field $K$ using the Lawrence-Venkatesh method. The main new inputs we need are computation of…

In this paper we investigate Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado theorems in ovoidal circle geometries. We prove that in M\"obius planes of even order greater than 2, and ovoidal Laguerre planes of odd order, the largest families of circles which pairwise…

The Erd\H os Matching Conjecture states that the maximum size $f(n,k,s)$ of a family $\mathcal{F}\subseteq \binom{[n]}{k}$ that does not contain $s$ pairwise disjoint sets is $\max\{|\mathcal{A}_{k,s}|,|\mathcal{B}_{n,k,s}|\}$, where…

Consider a quadratic polynomial $f\left(\xi_{1},\dots,\xi_{n}\right)$ of independent Bernoulli random variables. What can be said about the concentration of $f$ on any single value? This generalises the classical Littlewood--Offord problem,…

A family of subsets $\mathcal{F}$ is intersecting if $A \cap B \neq \emptyset$ for any $A, B \in \mathcal{F}$. In this paper, we show that for given integers $k > d \ge 2$ and $n \ge 2k+2d-3$, and any intersecting family $\mathcal{F}$ of…

The densities of small linear structures (such as arithmetic progressions) in subsets of Abelian groups can be expressed as certain analytic averages involving linear forms. Higher-order Fourier analysis examines such averages by…

We study the family of intersection graphs of low density objects in low dimensional Euclidean space. This family is quite general, and includes planar graphs. We prove that such graphs have small separators. Next, we present efficient…

Let $\alpha\in(0,1)\setminus{\Bbb Q}$ and $K=\{(e^z,e^{\alpha z}):\,|z|\leq1\}\subset{\Bbb C}^2$. If $P$ is a polynomial of degree $n$ in ${\Bbb C}^2$, normalized by $\|P\|_K=1$, we obtain sharp estimates for $\|P\|_{\Delta^2}$ in terms of…

We study Extremal Combinatorics problems where local properties are used to derive global properties. That is, we consider a given configuration where every small piece of the configuration satisfies some restriction, and use this local…

We derive lower estimates for the approximation of the $d$-dimensional Euclidean ball by polytopes with a fixed number of $k$-dimensional faces, $k\in\{0,1,\ldots,d-1\}$. The metrics considered include the intrinsic volume difference and…

Given $d,n \in \mathbb{N}$, we write a polynomial $F \in \mathbb{C}[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ to be degenerate if there exist $P\in \mathbb{C}[y_1, \dots, y_{n-1}]$ and $m_j = x_1^{v_{j,1}}\dots x_n^{v_{j,n}}$ with $v_{j,1}, \dots, v_{j,n} \in…

Let $F_p$ be the field of a prime order $p.$ For a subset $A\subset F_p$ we consider the product set $A(A+1).$ This set is an image of $A\times A$ under the polynomial mapping $f(x,y)=xy+x:F_p\times F_p\to F_p.$ In the present paper we show…

We use an algebraic method to prove a degree version of the celebrated Erd\H os-Ko-Rado theorem: given $n>2k$, every intersecting $k$-uniform hypergraph $H$ on $n$ vertices contains a vertex that lies on at most $\binom{n-2}{k-2}$ edges.…

This paper investigates several classical and novel variations of the Erd\H{o}s--Szekeres problem, including multicolored point sets, convex hexagons with a given number of interior points, and polygons with constraints on edge colors. We…

We develop a new algorithm for factoring a bivariate polynomial $F\in \mathbb{K}[x,y]$ which takes fully advantage of the geometry of the Newton polygon of $F$. Under a non degeneracy hypothesis, the complexity is…

This paper considers an extremal version of the Erd\H{o}s distinct distances problem. For a point set $P \subset \mathbb R^d$, let $\Delta(P)$ denote the set of all Euclidean distances determined by $P$. Our main result is the following: if…
