Cubic Curves in F_p^2
Suppose $A \subset \mathbb{F}_p^2$ is a set meeting every line in at most 2 points. Is it true that all except $o(p)$ points of $A$ lie on a cubic cur...
Collinear Triples and Cubic Curves
Fix $k$. Let $A \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ be a set of $n$ points with no more than $k$ on any line. Suppose at least $\delta n^2$ pairs $(x, y) \in A \tim...
No Three in Line in [N]^2
What is the largest subset of the grid $[N]^2$ with no three points on a line? In particular, for $N$ sufficiently large, is it impossible to have a s...
Smooth Surfaces Intersecting 2-planes
Let $\Gamma$ be a smooth codimension 2 surface in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Must $\Gamma$ intersect some 2-dimensional plane in 5 points, if $n$ is sufficiently...
Small Triangles in the Unit Disc
Given $n$ points in the unit disc, must there be a triangle of area at most $n^{-2+o(1)}$ determined by them?...
Cohn-Elkies Scheme for Circle Packings
Can the Cohn-Elkies scheme be used to prove the optimal bound for circle-packings?...
