Abstract
We demonstrate new results in additive combinatorics, including a proof of a conjecture by J. Solymosi: for every epsilon > 0, there exists delta > 0 such that, given n² points in a grid formation in R², if L is a set of lines in general position such that each line intersects at least n^{1-delta} points of the grid, then |L| < n^epsilon. This result implies a conjecture of Gy. Elekes regarding a uniform statistical version of Freiman's theorem for linear functions with small image sets.
