Abstract Let$$p_{1},\ldots ,p_{n}$$ be a set of points in the unit square and let$$T_{1},\ldots ,T_{n}$$ be a set of$$\delta $$ -tubes such that$$T_{j}$$ passes through$$p_{j}$$ . We prove a lower bound for the number of incidences between the points and tubes under a natural regularity condition (similar to Frostman regularity). As a consequence, we show that in any configuration of points$$p_{1},\ldots , p_{n} \in [0,1]^{2}$$ along with a line$$\ell _{j}$$ through each point$$p_{j}$$ , there exist$$j\neq k$$ for which$$d(p_{j}, \ell _{k}) \lesssim n^{-2/3+o(1)}$$ . It follows from the latter result that any set of$$n$$ points in the unit square contains three points forming a triangle of area at most$$n^{-7/6+o(1)}$$ . This new upper bound for Heilbronn’s triangle problem attains the high-low limit established in our previous work arXiv:2305.18253.more » « lessFree, publicly-accessible full text available March 14, 2026

By using random multilinear maps, we provide new lower bounds for the Erd\H{o}s box problem, the problem of estimating the extremal number of the complete $$d$$-partite $$d$$-uniform hypergraph with two vertices in each part, thereby improving on work of Gunderson, R\"{o}dl and Sidorenko.more » « less

Abstract Letfs, k(n)be the maximum possible number ofs‐term arithmetic progressions in a set ofnintegers which contains nok‐term arithmetic progression. For all fixed integersk > s ≥ 3, we prove thatfs, k(n) = n2 − o(1), which answers an old question of Erdős. In fact, we prove upper and lower bounds forfs, k(n)which show that its growth is closely related to the bounds in Szemerédi's theorem.more » « less
