We will survey some of the major directions of research in arithmetic combinatorics and their
connections to other fields. We will then discuss three new results. The first result will
generalize a structural theorem from Balog and Szemerédi. The second result will establish a
new tool in incidence geometry, which should prove useful in attacking combinatorial
estimates. The third result evolved from the famous sum-product problem, by providing a
partial categorization of bivariate polynomial set functions which induce exponential expansion
on all finite sets of real numbers.
