We prove a new upper bound on the number of $r$-rich lines (lines with at least $r$ points) in a `truly $d$-dimensional configuration of points $v_1,ldots,v_n in mathbb{C}^d$. More formally, we show that, if the number of $r$-rich lines is significantly larger than $n^2/r^d$ then there must exist a large subset of the points contained in a hyperplane. We conjecture that the factor $r^d$ can be replaced with a tight $r^{d+1}$. If true, this would generalize the classic Szemeredi-Trotter theorem which gives a bound of $n^2/r^3$ on the number of $r$-rich lines in a planar configuration. This conjecture was shown to hold in $mathbb{R}^3$ in the seminal work of Guth and Katz cite{GK10} and was also recently proved over $mathbb{R}^4$ (under some additional restrictions) cite{SS14}. For the special case of arithmetic progressions ($r$ collinear points that are evenly distanced) we give a bound that is tight up to low order terms, showing that a $d$-dimensional grid achieves the largest number of $r$-term progressions. The main ingredient in the proof is a new method to find a low degree polynomial that vanishes on many of the rich lines. Unlike previous applications of the polynomial method, we do not find this polynomial by interpolation. The starting observation is that the degree $r-2$ Veronese embedding takes $r$-collinear points to $r$ linearly dependent images. Hence, each collinear $r$-tuple of points, gives us a dependent $r$-tuple of images. We then use the design-matrix method of cite{BDWY12} to convert these local linear dependencies into a global one, showing that all the images lie in a hyperplane. This then translates into a low degree polynomial vanishing on the original set.

Let $L$ be a set of $n$ lines in $R^3$ that is contained, when represented as points in the four-dimensional Plucker space of lines in $R^3$, in an irreducible variety $T$ of constant degree which is emph{non-degenerate} with respect to $L$ (see belo
w). We show: medskip oindent{bf (1)} If $T$ is two-dimensional, the number of $r$-rich points (points incident to at least $r$ lines of $L$) is $O(n^{4/3+epsilon}/r^2)$, for $r ge 3$ and for any $epsilon>0$, and, if at most $n^{1/3}$ lines of $L$ lie on any common regulus, there are at most $O(n^{4/3+epsilon})$ $2$-rich points. For $r$ larger than some sufficiently large constant, the number of $r$-rich points is also $O(n/r)$. As an application, we deduce (with an $epsilon$-loss in the exponent) the bound obtained by Pach and de Zeeuw (2107) on the number of distinct distances determined by $n$ points on an irreducible algebraic curve of constant degree in the plane that is not a line nor a circle. medskip oindent{bf (2)} If $T$ is two-dimensional, the number of incidences between $L$ and a set of $m$ points in $R^3$ is $O(m+n)$. medskip oindent{bf (3)} If $T$ is three-dimensional and nonlinear, the number of incidences between $L$ and a set of $m$ points in $R^3$ is $Oleft(m^{3/5}n^{3/5} + (m^{11/15}n^{2/5} + m^{1/3}n^{2/3})s^{1/3} + m + n right)$, provided that no plane contains more than $s$ of the points. When $s = O(min{n^{3/5}/m^{2/5}, m^{1/2}})$, the bound becomes $O(m^{3/5}n^{3/5}+m+n)$. As an application, we prove that the number of incidences between $m$ points and $n$ lines in $R^4$ contained in a quadratic hypersurface (which does not contain a hyperplane) is $O(m^{3/5}n^{3/5} + m + n)$. The proofs use, in addition to various tools from algebraic geometry, recent bounds on the number of incidences between points and algebraic curves in the plane.
Given a finite set $A subseteq mathbb{R}^d$, points $a_1,a_2,dotsc,a_{ell} in A$ form an $ell$-hole in $A$ if they are the vertices of a convex polytope which contains no points of $A$ in its interior. We construct arbitrarily large point sets in gen
eral position in $mathbb{R}^d$ having no holes of size $O(4^ddlog d)$ or more. This improves the previously known upper bound of order $d^{d+o(d)}$ due to Valtr. The basic version of our construction uses a certain type of equidistributed point sets, originating from numerical analysis, known as $(t,m,s)$-nets or $(t,s)$-sequences, yielding a bound of $2^{7d}$. The better bound is obtained using a variant of $(t,m,s)$-nets, obeying a relaxed equidistribution condition.
We prove that the number of edges of a multigraph $G$ with $n$ vertices is at most $O(n^2log n)$, provided that any two edges cross at most once, parallel edges are noncrossing, and the lens enclosed by every pair of parallel edges in $G$ contains at
least one vertex. As a consequence, we prove the following extension of the Crossing Lemma of Ajtai, Chvatal, Newborn, Szemeredi and Leighton, if $G$ has $e geq 4n$ edges, in any drawing of $G$ with the above property, the number of crossings is $Omegaleft(frac{e^3}{n^2log(e/n)}right)$. This answers a question of Kaufmann et al. and is tight up to the logarithmic factor.
We show that the maximum number of pairwise non-overlapping $k$-rich lenses (lenses formed by at least $k$ circles) in an arrangement of $n$ circles in the plane is $Oleft(frac{n^{3/2}log{(n/k^3)}}{k^{5/2}} + frac{n}{k} right)$, and the sum of the de
grees of the lenses of such a family (where the degree of a lens is the number of circles that form it) is $Oleft(frac{n^{3/2}log{(n/k^3)}}{k^{3/2}} + nright)$. Two independent proofs of these bounds are given, each interesting in its own right (so we believe). We then show that these bounds lead to the known bound of Agarwal et al. (JACM 2004) and Marcus and Tardos (JCTA 2006) on the number of point-circle incidences in the plane. Extensions to families of more general algebraic curves and some other related problems are also considered.
We count the ordered sum-free triplets of subsets in the group $mathbb{Z}/pmathbb{Z}$, i.e., the triplets $(A,B,C)$ of sets $A,B,C subset mathbb{Z}/pmathbb{Z}$ for which the equation $a+b=c$ has no solution with $ain A$, $b in B$ and $c in C$. Our ma
in theorem improves on a recent result by Semchankau, Shabanov, and Shkredov using a different and simpler method. Our proof relates previous results on the number of independent sets of regular graphs by Kahn, Perarnau and Perkins, and Csikvari to produce explicit estimates on smaller order terms. We also obtain estimates for the number of sum-free triplets of subsets in a general abelian group.
