An Erdős conjecture on planar unit-distance graphs, standing roughly 80 years.

Resolution reported — pending verification

Status is community- and machine-tracked and may lag. Verify independently before investing effort.

Assessment

Renown 4/5

An ~80-year-old Erdos conjecture in discrete geometry.

Attackability 2/5

Finite point-configuration witness, verifiable exactly; eight decades of survival argued against search, wrongly.

Reported resolution

counterexample by See tracker link (pending primary source) on .

Per the community tracker: overturns an approximately 80-year-old central belief in discrete geometry and creates an unexpected bridge to algebraic number theory; independent work has already strengthened it. PENDING: primary arXiv reference.
