A classical result by Erd\H{o}s, and later on by Bondy and Simonivits, states that every $n$-vertex graph with no cycle of length $2k$ has at most $O(n^{1+1 /k})$ edges. This bound is known to be tight when $k \in \{2,3,5\},$ but it is a…

In this note we prove an upper bound on the $\mathbb F_p$-rank of the incidence matrix of points and hyperplanes in $(\mathbb Z/p^k \mathbb Z)^n$, improving a recent bound of Laba and Trainer when $k$ is large.

The aim of this paper is to obtain a classification of the scrolls in Pn which are defined by a one-dimensional family of lines meeting a certain set of linear spaces in Pn, a first classification for genus 0 and 1 is given in paper [1].…

We consider the structures of the plane-line and point-line incidence matrices of the projective space $\mathrm{PG}(3,q)$ connected with orbits of planes, points, and lines under the stabilizer group of the twisted cubic. In the literature,…

The aim of this paper is the computation of the degree and genus of all incidence scrolls in Pn. For this, we fix the dimension of a linear space which have a base space of this fixed dimension. In this way, we can obtain all the incidence…

We introduce a new type of distinct distances result: a lower bound on the number of distances between points on a line and points on a two-dimensional strip. This can be seen as a generalization of the well-studied problems of distances…

We consider first-passage percolation on the edges of $\mathbb{Z}^2 \times \{1, \cdots, k\},$ namely the slab $\mathbb{S}_k$ of width $k$. Each edge is assigned independently a passage time of either 0 (with probability $p_c(\mathbb{S}_k)$)…

The probability of simultaneous occurence of at least k spanning clusters has been studied by Monte Carlo simulations on the 2D square lattice at the bond percolation threshold Pc=1/2. The calculated probabilities for free boundary…

We improve the range of exponents for the restriction problem for the 3-d paraboloid over finite fields. The key new ingredient is a variant of the Bourgain-Katz-Tao finite field incidence theorem derived from sum-product estimates. In…

We develop the methods used by Rudnev and Wheeler to prove an incidence theorem between arbitrary sets of M\"{o}bius transformations and point sets in $\mathbb F_p^2$. We also note some asymmetric incidence results, and give applications of…

We obtain some asymptotic formulae (with power savings in their error terms) for the number of quadruples in the Cartesian product of an arbitrary set $A \subset \mathbf{R}$ and for the number of quintuplets in $A\times A$ for any subset…

We prove bounds on approximate incidences between families of circles and families of points in the plane. As a consequence, we prove a lower bound for the dimension of circular $(u,v)$-Furstenberg sets, which is new for large $u$ and $v$.

We present an approach over arbitrary fields to bound the degree of intersection of families of varieties in terms of how these concentrate on algebraic sets of smaller codimension. This provides in particular a substantial extension of the…

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 first describe a reduction from the problem of lower-bounding the number of distinct distances determined by a set $S$ of $s$ points in the plane to an incidence problem between points and a certain class of helices (or parabolas) in…

In this ote, which has been absorbed by arXiv1702.01003, we combine a recent point-line incidence bound of Stevens and de Zeeuw with an older lemma of Bourgain, Katz and Tao to bound the number of collinear triples and quadruples in a…

This paper establishes the theoretical foundation for statistical applications of an intriguing new type of spatial point processes called critical point processes. These point processes, residing in Euclidean space, consist of the critical…

In this paper, we prove that a set of $N$ points in ${\bf R}^2$ has at least $c{N \over \log N}$ distinct distances, thus obtaining the sharp exponent in a problem of Erd\"os. We follow the set-up of Elekes and Sharir which, in the spirit…

We consider the structure of the plane-line incidence matrix of the projective space $\mathrm{PG}(3,q)$ with respect to the orbits of planes and lines under the stabilizer group of the twisted cubic. Structures of submatrices with…

The first purpose of this paper is to solve completely the finite field cone restriction conjecture in four dimensions with $-1$ non-square. The second is to introduce a new approach to study incidence problems via restriction theory. More…
