Some applications of smooth bilinear forms with Kloosterman sums

Philippe Michel

We revisit a recent bound of I. Shparlinski and T. Zhang on bilinear forms with Kloosterman sums, and prove an extension for correlation sums of Kloosterman sums against Fourier coefficients of modular forms. We use these bounds to improve on earlier resul ...

On the existence of ordinary triangles

Sebastian Urban Stich, Radoslav Fulek, Márton Naszódi

Let P be a finite point set in the plane. A \emph{c-ordinary triangle} in P is a subset of P consisting of three non-collinear points such that each of the three lines determined by the three points contains at most c points of P. Motivated by a question o ...

Erdos Distinct Distances Problem and Extensions over Finite Spaces

Van Thang Pham

In this thesis we study a number of problems in Discrete Combinatorial Geometry in finite spaces. The contents in this thesis are structured as follows: In Chapter 1 we will state the main results and the notations which will be used throughout the thesis. ...

Distinct Values Of Bilinear Forms On Algebraic Curves

Frank de Zeeuw, Adrian Claudiu Valculescu

Let B-M : C x C -> C be a bilinear form B-M(p, q) - p(T)Mq, with an invertible matrix M is an element of C-2x2. We prove that any finite set S contained in an irreducible algebraic curve C of degree d in C determines Omega(d)(vertical bar S vertical bar(4/ ...

Few distinct distances implies no heavy lines or circles

Frank de Zeeuw

We study the structure of planar point sets that determine a small number of distinct distances. Specifically, we show that if a set of n points determines o(n) distinct distances, then no line contains Omega(n (7/8)) points of and no circle contains Omega ...

Computational Aspects of Jacobians of Hyperelliptic Curves

Alina Dudeanu

Nowadays, one area of research in cryptanalysis is solving the Discrete Logarithm Problem (DLP) in finite groups whose group representation is not yet exploited. For such groups, the best one can do is using a generic method to attack the DLP, the fastest ...

On The Number Of Ordinary Conics

Frank de Zeeuw, Adrian Claudiu Valculescu

We prove a lower bound on the number of ordinary conics determined by a finite point set in R-2. An ordinary conic for S subset of R-2 is a conic that is determined by five points of S and contains no other points of S. Wiseman and Wilson proved the Sylves ...

On the Richter-Thomassen Conjecture about Pairwise Intersecting Closed Curves

János Pach, Gábor Tardos

A long-standing conjecture of Richter and Thomassen states that the total number of intersection points between any n simple closed Jordan curves in the plane, so that any pair of them intersect and no three curves pass through the same point, is at least ...

An Inner-Product Calculus for Periodic Functions and Curves

Michaël Unser, Daniel Andreas Schmitter, Anaïs Laure Marie-Thérèse Badoual

Our motivation is the design of efficient algorithms to process closed curves represented by basis functions or wavelets. To that end, we introduce an inner-product calculus to evaluate correlations and

Isometries of quadratic spaces

Eva Bayer Fluckiger

Let k be a global field of characteristic not 2, and let f is an element of k[X] be an irreducible polynomial. We show that a non-degenerate quadratic space has an isometry with minimal polynomial f if and only if such an isometry exists over all the compl ...
