You might have noticed that I did not post anything new for quite a while. The past months were unusually busy for me, due to personal reasons such as having my first child born(!), being on the job market, and several other things. I hope to return to my regular posting frequency around July.
The purpose of this post is to announce that I just uploaded the first draft of my book “Incidence Theory”. This book is about our current understanding of incidences (with a focus on the polynomial method), and their applications in other fields. I am trying to achieve two goals in this book: To have a clear and basic introduction of this subfield, while also creating a repository of results and techniques which may be used as a reference to experts. The current draft already contains several folklore results that I have not seen written before. It contains only the first seven chapters. I predict that the final version would contain about 15 chapters, and plan to gradually release the remaining ones.
Comments would be very appreciated, preferably by email. These can point out mistakes, typos, unclear formulations, suggestions for style changes, additional topics, simpler arguments, exercises, or anything else that might help improve the draft. The acknowledgements section is way too short. Please help me to extend it!
