Abstract

We study the dual variants of the Erd\H{o}s's distinct distances and unit distance problems. Instead of considering distances determined by points, we consider simplex volumes determined by hyperplanes. We investigate: (1) the maximum number of unit dd-volume dd-simplices determined by an arrangement of nn hyperplanes in Rd\mathbb{R}^d, (2) the maximum number of minimum/maximum dd-volume dd-simplices determined by an arrangement of nn hyperplanes in Rd\mathbb{R}^d, and (3) the maximum number Dd(n)D_d(n) such that any arrangement of nn hyperplanes in Rd\mathbb{R}^d in general position contains Dd(n)D_d(n) hyperplanes forming dd-simplices of distinct dd-volumes.
