Abstract: We prove an incidence theorem for points and curves in the complex plane. Given a set of $m$ points in ${mathbbR}^2$ and a set of $n$ curves with $k$ degrees of freedom, Pach and Sharir proved that the number of point-curve incidences is $$. We establish the slightly weaker bound $$ on the number of incidences between $m$ points and $n$ (complex) algebraic curves in ${mathbbC}^2$ with $k$ degrees of freedom. We combine tools from algebraic geometry and differential geometry to prove a key technical lemma that controls the number of complex curves that can be contained inside a real hypersurface. This lemma may be of independent interest to other researchers proving incidence theorems over $mathbbC$.
