SUMMARY:Radial projections in vector spaces over finite fields
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Ben Lund (IBS Discrete Mathematics Group)\n\nAbstract:
  \nSeveral recent papers by authors including Matilla\, Orponen\, Liu\, Sh
 merikin\, and Wang give upper bounds on the Hausdorff dimension of the set
  of points for which the radial projection of a Borel set in a real vector
  space is much smaller than expected. In recent work\, joint with Thang Ph
 am and Vu Thi Huong Thu\, we prove analogs of several of these theorems fo
 r point sets in vector spaces over finite fields. In several cases\, we ar
 e able to prove stronger bounds than the most natural analogs to the known
  theorems in the continuous case. I will discuss these results\, and if ti
 me permits I'll mention a connection to the Erdos and Falconer problems on
  distinct distances.\n
