Abstract: Zarankiewicz's problem asks for the largest possible number of edges in a graph that does not contain a Ku,u subgraph for a fixed positive integer u. Recently, Fox, Pach, Sheffer, Sulk and Zahl considered this problem for semi-algebraic graphs, where vertices are points in mathbbRd and edges are defined by some semi-algebraic relations. In this paper, we extend this idea to semi-algebraic hypergraphs. For each kgeq2, we find an upper bound on the number of hyperedges in a k-uniform k-partite semi-algebraic hypergraph without Ku1,dots,uk for fixed positive integers u1,dots,uk. When k=2, this bound matches the one of Fox et.al. and when k=3, it is Oleft((mnp)^{frac{2d}{2d+1}+varepsilon}+m(np)^{frac{d}{d+1}+varepsilon}+n(mp)^{frac{d}{d+1}+varepsilon}+p(mn)^{frac{d}{d+1}+varepsilon}+mn+np+pm ight), where m,n,p are the sizes of the parts of the tripartite hypergraph and varepsilon is an arbitrarily small positive constant. We then present applications of this result to a variant of the unit area problem, the unit minor problem and intersection hypergraphs.
