%0 Journal Article %T On the joints problem with multiplicities %A M¨¢rton Hablicsek %J Mathematics %D 2014 %I arXiv %X In this short note we apply a recent theorem of Koll\'ar about the arithmetic genus of curves to give a bound on the number of joints weighted by the multiplicities. This gives an affirmative answer to a conjecture of Carbery in the generic case. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1408.5791v1
