contents Let $P \subset \mathbb{R}^{2}$ be a Katz-Tao $(δ,s)$-set, and let $\mathcal{L}$ be a Katz-Tao $(δ,t)$-set of lines in $\mathbb{R}^{2}$. A recent result of Fu and Ren gives a sharp upper bound for the $δ$-covering number of the set of incidences $\mathcal{I}(P,\mathcal{L}) = \{(p,\ell) \in P \times \mathcal{L} : p \in \ell\}$. In fact, for $s,t \in (0,1]$, $$ |\mathcal{I}(P,\mathcal{L})|_δ \lesssim_ε δ^{-ε-f(s,t)}, \qquad ε> 0,$$ where $f(s,t) = (s^{2} + st + t^{2})/(s + t)$. For $s,t \in (0,1]$, we characterise the near-extremal configurations $P \times \mathcal{L}$ of this inequality: we show that if $|\mathcal{I}(P,\mathcal{L})|_δ \approx δ^{-f(s,t)}$, then $P \times \mathcal{L}$ contains "cliques" $P' \times \mathcal{L}'$ satisfying $|\mathcal{I}(P',\mathcal{L}')|_δ \approx |P'|_δ|\mathcal{L}'|_δ$, $$|P'|_δ \approx δ^{-s^{2}/(s + t)} \quad \text{and} \quad |\mathcal{L}'|_δ \approx δ^{-t^{2}/(s + t)}.$$

Let $P \subset \mathbb{R}^{2}$ be a Katz-Tao $(δ,s)$-set, and let $\mathcal{L}$ be a Katz-Tao $(δ,t)$-set of lines in $\mathbb{R}^{2}$. A recent result of Fu and Ren gives a sharp upper bound for the $δ$-covering number of the set of incidences $\mathcal{I}(P,\mathcal{L}) = \{(p,\ell) \in P \times \mathcal{L} : p \in \ell\}$. In fact, for $s,t \in (0,1]$, $$ |\mathcal{I}(P,\mathcal{L})|_δ \lesssim_ε δ^{-ε-f(s,t)}, \qquad ε> 0,$$ where $f(s,t) = (s^{2} + st + t^{2})/(s + t)$. For $s,t \in (0,1]$, we characterise the near-extremal configurations $P \times \mathcal{L}$ of this inequality: we show that if $|\mathcal{I}(P,\mathcal{L})|_δ \approx δ^{-f(s,t)}$, then $P \times \mathcal{L}$ contains "cliques" $P' \times \mathcal{L}'$ satisfying $|\mathcal{I}(P',\mathcal{L}')|_δ \approx |P'|_δ|\mathcal{L}'|_δ$, $$|P'|_δ \approx δ^{-s^{2}/(s + t)} \quad \text{and} \quad |\mathcal{L}'|_δ \approx δ^{-t^{2}/(s + t)}.$$
