Few distinct distances implies no heavy lines or circles
We study the structure of planar point sets that determine a small number of distinct distances. Specifically, we show that if a set PP of n points determines o(n) distinct distances, then no line contains Ω(n[superscript 7/8]) points of PP and no circle contains Ω(n[superscript 5/6]) points of...
