Abstract: We study the sum-product problem for the planar hypercomplex numbers: the dual numbers and double numbers. These number systems are similar to the complex numbers, but it turns out that they have a very different combinatorial behavior. We identify parameters that control the behavior of these problems, and derive sum-product bounds that depend on these parameters. For the dual numbers we expose a range where the minimum value of $max|A+A|,|AA|$ is neither close to $|A|$ nor to $|A{|}^2$. To obtain our main sum-product bound, we extend Elekes' sum-product technique that relies on point-line incidences. Our extension is significantly more involved than the original proof, and in some sense runs the original technique a few times in a bootstrapping manner. We also study point-line incidences in the dual plane and in the double plane, developing analogs of the Szemeredi-Trotter theorem. As in the case of the sum-product problem, it turns out that the dual and double variants behave differently than the complex and real ones.
