Points on $k$ Circles

Let $k$ be a fixed positive integer. We want to find the minimum number $f(k)$, such that for a set of finite points in the plane, if any $f(k)$ of them are on $k$ circles, then all of them are on $k$ ...

Projective planes over algebraically closed fields

Suppose I am given a projective plane $P \cong \mathbb{P}^2(k)$ over a (commutative) field $k$. With "projective plane," I mean the point-line geometry (and not, for instance, the scheme): $...
