We prove a new Elekes-Szab\'o type estimate on the size of the intersection of a Cartesian product $A\times B\times C$ with an algebraic surface $\{f=0\}$ over the reals. In particular, if $A,B,C$ are sets of $N$ real numbers and $f$ is a…

A theorem of Elekes and Szab\'{o} recognizes algebraic groups among certain complex algebraic varieties with maximal size intersections with finite grids. We establish a generalization to relations of any arity and dimension, definable in:…

In this paper we give a conditional improvement to the Elekes-Szab\'{o} problem over the rationals, assuming the Uniformity Conjecture. Our main result states that for $F\in \mathbb{Q}[x,y,z]$ belonging to a particular family of…

We show that with a suitable weak notion of general position, the Elekes-Szab\'o condition on the group operation of a connected complex algebraic group characterises nilpotence of the group. Along the way, we prove a Mordell-Lang result…

We generalise the Elekes-Szab\'o theorem to arbitrary arity and dimension and characterise the complex algebraic varieties without power saving. The characterisation involves certain algebraic subgroups of commutative algebraic groups…

We give a construction of a non-degenerate polynomial $F\in \mathbb R[x,y,z]$ and a set $A$ of cardinality $n$ such that $\left|Z(F)\cap (A \times A \times A) \right| \gg n^{\frac{3}{2}}$, thus providing a new lower bound construction for…

Let $F\in\mathbb{C}[x,y,s,t]$ be an irreducible constant-degree polynomial, and let $A,B,C,D\subset\mathbb{C}$ be finite sets of size $n$. We show that $F$ vanishes on at most $O(n^{8/3})$ points of the Cartesian product $A\times B\times…

Let $P: \F \times \F \to \F$ be a polynomial of bounded degree over a finite field $\F$ of large characteristic. In this paper we establish the following dichotomy: either $P$ is a moderate asymmetric expander in the sense that $|P(A,B)|…

We study the orchard problem on cubic surfaces. We classify possibly reducible cubic surfaces $X\subseteq \mathbb{P}^3(\C)$ with smooth components on which there exist families of finite sets (of unbounded size) with quadratically many…

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…

We establish sharp long time asymptotic behaviour for a family of entropies to defective Fokker-Planck equations and show that, much like defective finite dimensional ODEs, their decay rate is an exponential multiplied by a polynomial in…

We prove an entropy formula for certain expansive actions of a countable discrete residually finite group $\Gamma $ by automorphisms of compact abelian groups in terms of Fuglede-Kadison determinants. This extends an earlier result proved…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic $p$ and let $\mathbb{G}_a$ denote the additive group of $k$. Let $n \geq 1$ and let ${\rm Mat}(n, k[T])^E$ denote the set of all exponential matrices of ${\rm Mat}(n,…

We treat the higher-dimensional Elekes-Szab\'o problem in the case of the action of Aut(C^2) on C^2.

We consider a polynomial $P\in \mathbb{R}[x_{1},\cdots, x_{d}]$ of degree $ \delta $ that depends non-trivially on each of $x_1,...,x_d$ with $d\geq 2$. For any integer $t$ with $2\leq t\leq d$, any natural number $n \in \mathbb{N}$, and…

A recent result of Frantzikinakis establishes sufficient conditions for joint ergodicity in the setting of $\mathbb{Z}$-actions. We generalize this result for actions of second-countable locally compact abelian groups. We obtain two…

We study profinite actions of residually finite groups in terms of weak containment. We show that two strongly ergodic profinite actions of a group are weakly equivalent if and only if they are isomorphic. This allows us to construct…

Let $S$ be a surface of finite type which is not a sphere with at most four punctures, a torus with at most two punctures, or a closed surface of genus two. Let $\mathcal{MF}$ be the space of equivalence classes of measured foliations of…

Motivated by Popa's seminal work \cite{Po04}, in this paper, we provide a fairly large class of examples of group actions $\Gamma \curvearrowright X$ satisfying the extended Neshveyev-St{\o}rmer rigidity phenomenon \cite{NS03}: whenever…

Given an evolution algebra associated to a connected finite graph $\Gamma$, we exhibit a free action of the group of symmetries of $\Gamma$ on the set of automorphisms of the algebra. This allows us to explicitly describe this set and we…
