Query: On Semialgebraic Range Reporting   In the problem of semialgebraic range searching, we are to preprocess a set
of points in $\mathbb{R}^D$ such that the subset of points inside a
semialgebraic region described by $O(1)$ polynomial inequalities of degree
$\Delta$ can be found efficiently.
  Relatively recently, several major advances were made on this problem. Using
algebraic techniques, "near-linear space" structures [AMS13,MP15] with almost
optimal query time of $Q(n)=O(n^{1-1/D+o(1)})$ were obtained. For "fast query"
structures (i.e., when $Q(n)=n^{o(1)}$), it was conjectured that a structure
with space $S(n) = O(n^{D+o(1)})$ is possible. The conjecture was refuted
recently by Afshani and Cheng [AC21]. In the plane, they proved that $S(n) =
\Omega(n^{\Delta+1 - o(1)}/Q(n)^{(\Delta+3)\Delta/2})$ which shows
$\Omega(n^{\Delta+1-o(1)})$ space is needed for $Q(n) = n^{o(1)}$. While this
refutes the conjecture, it still leaves a number of unresolved issues: the
lower bound only works in 2D and for fast queries, and neither the exponent of
$n$ or $Q(n)$ seem to be tight even for $D=2$, as the current upper bound is
$S(n) = O(n^{\boldsymbol{m}+o(1)}/Q(n)^{(\boldsymbol{m}-1)D/(D-1)})$ where
$\boldsymbol{m}=\binom{D+\Delta}{D}-1 = \Omega(\Delta^D)$ is the maximum number
of parameters to define a monic degree-$\Delta$ $D$-variate polynomial, for any
$D,\Delta=O(1)$.
  In this paper, we resolve two of the issues: we prove a lower bound in
$D$-dimensions and show that when $Q(n)=n^{o(1)}+O(k)$,
$S(n)=\Omega(n^{\boldsymbol{m}-o(1)})$, which is almost tight as far as the
exponent of $n$ is considered in the pointer machine model. When considering
the exponent of $Q(n)$, we show that the analysis in [AC21] is tight for $D=2$,
by presenting matching upper bounds for uniform random point sets. This shows
either the existing upper bounds can be improved or a new fundamentally
different input set is needed to get a better lower bound.
