N2 - The long standing Zarankiewicz's conjecture states that the crossing number cr(Km,n) of the complete bipartite graph is Z(m,n):= [m/2][m-1/2][n/2][n-1/2]. Using flag algebras we show that cr(Kn,n) ≥ 0.9118 •Z(n, n) + o(n4). We also show that the rectilinear crossing number cr-(Kn,n) of Kn,nis at least 0.987 •Z(n,n)+ o(n4). Finally, we show that if a drawing of Kn,nhas no K3,4that has exactly two crossings, and these crossings share exactly one vertex, then it has at least Z(n,n)+ o(n4) crossings. This is a local restriction inspired by Turán type problems that gives an asymptotically tight result.
