We obtain new bounds for (a variant of) the Furstenberg set problem for high dimensional flats over $\mathbb{R}^n$. In particular, let $F\subset \mathbb{R}^n$, $1\leq k \leq n-1$, $s\in (0,k]$, and $t\in (0,k(n-k)]$. We say that $F$ is a…

In this paper, we study the problem of finding the largest possible set of s points and s lines in a projective plane of order q, such that that none of the s points lie on any of the s lines. We prove that s <= 1+(q+1)(\sqrt{q}-1). We also…

This survey paper was primarily written as as the support for a course pesented at the JNCF2025: it aims to present some material that illustrates the kind of estimates one can obtain in effective algebraic geometry, for affine polynomial…

New bounds on the number of similar or directly similar copies of a pattern within a finite subset of the line or the plane are proved. The number of equilateral triangles whose vertices all lie within an $n$-point subset of the plane is…

We give the best possible upper bound for the number of exceptional values of the Lagrangian Gauss map of complete improper affine fronts in the affine three-space. We also obtain the sharp estimate for weakly complete case. As an…

We study the supergeometry of complex projective superspaces $\mathbb{P}^{n|m}$. First, we provide formulas for the cohomology of invertible sheaves of the form $\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^{n|m}} (\ell)$, that are pull-back of ordinary…

In this note, we study the fluctuations in the number of points of smooth projective plane curves over finite fields $\mathbb{F}_q$ as $q$ is fixed and the genus varies. More precisely, we show that these fluctuations are predicted by a…

Let $\lambda \in \mathbb{Q}\setminus \{0, -1\}$ and $l \geq 2$. Denote by $C_{l,\lambda}$ the nonsingular projective algebraic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ with affine equation given by $$y^l=(x-1)(x^2+\lambda).$$ In this paper we give a…

We study dimensions of sets projected to an $(n-2)$-dimensional family of hyperplanes in $\mathbb{R}^n$ under curvature conditions. Let $n\ge 3$ and $\Sigma \subset S^{n-1}$ be an $(n-2)$-dimensional $C^2$ manifold such that $\Sigma$ has…

For a finite set $A\subset\mathbb{N}$ and $k\in \mathbb{N}$, let $\omega_k(A) = \sum_{i\in A, i\neq k}1$. For each $n\in \mathbb{N}$, define $$a_{k, n}\ =\ |\{E\subset \mathbb{N}\,:\, E = \emptyset\mbox{ or } \omega_k(E) < \min E\leqslant…

Let F_q be the finite field of q elements. Let H be a multiplicative subgroup of F_q^*. For a positive integer k and element b\in F_q, we give a sharp estimate for the number of k-element subsets of H which sum to b.

In this note we introduce the notion of $(b,d)$-geprofi sets and study their basic properties. These are sets of $bd$ points in $\mathbb{P}^4$ whose projection from a general point to a hyperplane is a full intersection, i.e., the…

In this note we prove that certain polynomial mappings $P_\mathfrak{g}^k(\mathbf{x}) \in \mathbf{Z}[\mathbf{x}]$ in $n$-variables obtained from simple complex Lie algebras $\mathfrak{g}$ of arbitrary rank $n \ge 1$, are exceptional.

In this paper, we construct explicit families of polynomials $P \in \mathbb{F}_q[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ with large root sets which have restricted intersections with affine lines. We use these sets to make substantial progress on a number of…

Given a finite number of samples of a continuous set-valued function F, mapping an interval to compact subsets of the real line, we develop good approximations of F, which can be computed efficiently.

Let $G$ be a finite group acting on a vector space $V = \mathbb{F}_p^n$ over a prime field. Given finite sets $S \subset G$ and $E \subset V$, we study the restricted orbit union $S(E) = \bigcup_{g\in S} g(E)$ and establish quantitative…

Let $\mathcal{X}$ be a projective algebraic curve and denote by $\mathcal{X}^{'}$ its strict dual curve. The map $\gamma:\mathcal{X} \longrightarrow \mathcal{X}^{'}$ is called (strict) Gauss map of $\mathcal{X}$. In this manuscript, we…

We are interested in shapes of real algebraic curves in the plane and regions surrounded by them: they are named refined algebraic domains by the author. As characteristic finite sets, we consider points contained in two curves and the sets…

This paper is devoted to the investigation of selected situations when the computation of projective (and other) equivalences of algebraic varieties can be efficiently solved with the help of finding projective equivalences of finite sets…
