Zarankiewicz's problem asks for the largest possible number of edges in a graph that does not contain a K u, u subgraph for a fixed positive integer u. Recently, Fox, Pach, Sheffer, Sulk and Zahl [12] considered this problem for semi-algebraic graphs, where vertices are points in R d and edges are defined by some semi-algebraic relations. In this paper, we extend this idea to semi-algebraic hypergraphs. For each k≥ 2, we find an upper bound on the number of hyperedges in a k-uniform k-partite semi-algebraic hypergraph without K u 1,…, u k for fixed positive integers u 1,…, u k. When k= 2, this bound matches the one of Fox et al. and when k= 3, it is O ((m n p) 2 d 2 d+ 1+ ε+ m (n p) d d+ 1+ ε+ n (m p) d d+ 1+ ε+ p (m n) d d+ 1+ ε+ m n+ n p+ p m), where m, n, p are the sizes of the parts of the tripartite hypergraph and ε is an arbitrarily small positive constant. We then present applications of this result to a variant of the unit area problem, the unit minor problem and intersection hypergraphs.
