On the global linear Zarankiewicz problem
The global Zarankiewicz's problem for hypergraphs asks for an upper bound on the number of edges of a hypergraph, whose edge relation is induced by a fixed hypergraph E that has no sub-hypergraphs of a given size. Basit-Chernikov-Starchenko-Tao-Tran (2021) obtained linear Zarankiewicz bounds in the case of a semilinear E, namely E definable in a linear o-minimal structure. We extend this theorem to a broader range of “linear-like” structures, in o-minimal, Presburger arithmetic and stability theoretic settings. Some of the methods involved include (a) a reduction of the problem to the case of arbitrary subgroups E of powers of groups, and (b) an abstract version of Zarankiewicz's problem in the saturated setting. Joint work with Aris Papadopoulos.
