Incidence geometry and polynomial expansion over finite fields
Nuno Arala, Sam Chow
We use spectral theory and algebraic geometry to establish a higher-degree analogue of a Szemerédi--Trotter-type theorem over finite fields, with an application to polynomial expan…

A nonabelian circle method
Nuno Arala, Jayce R. Getz, Jiaqi Hou +3
We count integral quaternion zeros of , giving an asymptotic when , and a likely near-optimal bound when . To do so, we introduce a new, non…

Lines of polynomials with alternating Galois group
Nuno Arala
We study the problem of existence of one-parameter, linear families of polynomials of degree n all of whose polynomials have Galois group A_n. The methods we use have a strong geom…
