We consider an incidence problem in $\mathbb{R}^4$ which asks, for a set of $L$ lines and a set of $S$ planes in general position, what the maximum number of line-plane incidences is. A line-plane incidence is defined as a point where a…

The main purpose of this paper is to prove that the point-line incidence bound due to Vinh (2011) over arbitrary finite fields can be improved in certain ranges by using tools from the VC-dimension theory. As consequences, a number of…

Let $N_n(X)$ denote the number of degree $n$ number fields with discriminant bounded by $X$. In this note, we improve the best known upper bounds on $N_n(X)$, finding that $N_n(X) = O(X^{ c (\log n)^2})$ for an explicit constant $c$.

We show that the number of incidences between $m$ distinct points and $n$ distinct lines in ${\mathbb R}^4$ is $O\left(2^{c\sqrt{\log m}} (m^{2/5}n^{4/5}+m) + m^{1/2}n^{1/2}q^{1/4} + m^{2/3}n^{1/3}s^{1/3} + n\right)$, for a suitable…

Let $L$ be a set of $n$ lines in $R^3$ that is contained, when represented as points in the four-dimensional Pl\"ucker space of lines in $R^3$, in an irreducible variety $T$ of constant degree which is \emph{non-degenerate} with respect to…

We prove that the number of unit distances among $n$ planar points is at most $1.94\cdot n^{4/3}$, improving on the previous best bound of $8n^{4/3}$. We also give better upper and lower bounds for several small values of $n$. We also prove…

We show that for any finite set $P$ of points in the plane and $\epsilon>0$ there exist $\displaystyle O\left(\frac{1}{\epsilon^{3/2+\gamma}}\right)$ points in ${\mathbb{R}}^2$, for arbitrary small $\gamma>0$, that pierce every convex set…

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.

We prove an incidence theorem for points and planes in the projective space $\mathbb P^3$ over any field $\mathbb F$, whose characteristic $p\neq 2.$ An incidence is viewed as an intersection along a line of a pair of two-planes from two…

A deep conjecture of Montgomery and Soundararajan on the distribution of prime numbers in short intervals of length $h$ says that the third moment is bounded by $\ll h^{\frac {3}{2}-c}$ for some $c>0$. There is in the literature some…

It is known that there is a constant $c>0$ such that for every sequence $x_1, x_2,\ldots$ in $[0,1)$ we have for the star discrepancy $D^{*}_N$ of the first $N$ elements of the sequence that $N D^{*}_N\geq c\cdot \log N$ holds for…

In this note, we give an upper bound for the number of elements from the interval $[1,p^{1/4e^{1/2}+\epsilon}]$ necessary to generate the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{p}$ with $p$ an odd prime.

We show that for large enough $n$, the number of non-isomorphic pseudoline arrangements of order $n$ is greater than $2^{c\cdot n^2}$ for some constant $c > 0.2604$, improving the previous best bound of $c>0.2083$ by Dumitrescu and Mandal…

For all $s \geq 1$ and $N \geq 1$ there exist sequences $(z_1,\ldots,z_N)$ in $[0,1]^s$ such that the star-discrepancy of these points can be bounded by $$D_N^*(z_1,\ldots,z_N) \leq c \frac{\sqrt{s}}{\sqrt{N}}.$$ The best known value for…

This paper gives an improved sum-product estimate for subsets of a finite field whose order is not prime. It is shown, under certain conditions, that $$\max\{|A+A|,|A\cdot{A}|\}\gg{\frac{|A|^{12/11}}{(\log_2|A|)^{5/11}}}.$$ This new…

We prove new bounds on the number of incidences between points and higher degree algebraic curves. The key ingredient is an improved initial bound, which is valid for all fields. Then we apply the polynomial method to obtain global bounds…

A celebrated unit distance conjecture due to Erd\H os says that that the unit distances cannot arise more than $C_{\epsilon}n^{1+\epsilon}$ times (for any $\epsilon>0$) among $n$ points in the Euclidean plane (see e.g. \cite{SST84} and the…

Given $A \subset F_{p}^2$ a sufficiently small set in the plane over a prime residue field, we prove that there are at most $O_\epsilon (|A|^{\frac{99}{41}+\epsilon})$ rectangles with corners in $A$. The exponent $\frac{99}{41} =…

Let $\chi$ be a Dirichlet character modulo a prime~$p$. We give explicit upper bounds on $q_1<q_2<\dots<q_n$, the $n$ smallest prime nonresidues of $\chi$. More precisely, given $n_0$ and $p_0$ there exists an absolute constant…

The point-line incidence problem has been widely studied in Euclidean spaces and vector spaces over finite fields, whereas the analogous problem has rarely been considered over finite $p$-adic rings. In this paper, we investigate incidences…
