Abstract: We show that the number of incidences between m distinct points and n distinct lines in mathbbR4 is Oleft(2csqrtlogm(m2/5n4/5+m)+m1/2n1/2q1/4+m2/3n1/3s1/3+night), for a suitable absolute constant c, provided that no 2-plane contains more than s input lines, and no hyperplane or quadric contains more than q lines. The bound holds without the factor 2csqrtlogm when mlen6/7 or mgen5/3. Except for this factor, the bound is tight in the worst case.


The authors show the following result. Let \(L\) be a set of \(n\) distinct lines and \(P\) be a set of \(m\) distinct points in Euclidean 4-space such that no 2-plane contains more than \(s\) lines of \(L\) and no hyperplane or quadric contains more than \(q\) lines of \(L\). Then the number of incidences between the points of \(P\) and the lines of \(L\), denoted by \(I(P,L)\), satisfies \[ I(P,L) \leq (2^{c \sqrt{\log(m)}}) (m^{2/5} n^{4/5} +m) + A(m^{1/2}n^{1/2} q^{1/4} + m^{2/3} n^{1/3} s^{1/3} +n) \] for suitable absolute constants \(A\) and \(c\). If \(m \leq n^{6/7}\) of \(m \geq n^{5/3}\) then the bound is improved to \[ I(P,L) \leq A(m^{2/5} n^{4/5} + m + m^{1/2}n^{1/2} q^{1/4} + m^{2/3} n^{1/3}s^{1/3} +n) . \]
