Multi-parameter Szemerédi-Trotter-type theorems and applications in finite fields

Hung Le, Steven Senger, Minh-Quan Vo

We prove some novel multi-parameter point-line incidence estimates in vector spaces over finite fields. While these could be seen as special cases of higher-dimensional incidence r…

An improved point-line incidence bound over arbitrary finite fields via the VC-dimension theory

Alex Iosevich, Thang Pham, Steven Senger +1

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…

Geometric structures in pseudo-random graphs

Thang Pham, Steven Senger, Michael Tait +1

In this paper, we provide a general framework for counting geometric structures in pseudo-random graphs. As applications, our theorems recover and improve several results on the fi…

The Erdos-Falconer distance problem in the tree setting

Thang Pham, Steven Senger, Dung The Tran

The recent breakthrough of Guth, Iosevich, Ou, and Wang (2019) on the Falconer distance problem states that for a compact set , if the Hausdorff dimension of…

A note on the multiplicative structure of an additively shifted product set, AA+1

Steven Senger

We consider the multiplicative structure of sets of the form AA+1, where where A is a large, finite set of real numbers. In particular, we show that the additively shifted product…
