abstract
In this note we give a shortened proof of a theorem of Rudnev, which bounds the number of incidences between points and planes over an arbitrary field. Rudnev's proof uses a map that goes via the four-dimensional Klein quadric to a three-dimensional space, where it applies a bound of Guth and Katz on intersection points of lines. We describe a simple geometric map that directly sends point-plane incidences to line-line intersections in space, allowing us to reprove Rudnev's theorem with fewer technicalities.

Entropy lower bounds are established for sums and products, including a max(H(X+X'), H(XX')) bounded below by a linear function of H(X) and min-entropy of X over arbitrary fields.
