The maximality conjecture for circle constructions

About 18 years old · traced to

Let RR have only prime factors pp satisfying p≡1(mod4)p\equiv 1\pmod 4. Consider the two plane integral point sets supplied by the circle constructions: circle⁡(R)\operatorname{circle}(R), with 2τ(R)2\tau(R) points on a circle of radius RR together with its center, and circle⁡~(R)\widetilde{\operatorname{circle}}(R), with 2τ(R)2\tau(R) points on a circle of radius R/2R/2. Here τ(R)\tau(R) denotes the number of divisors of RR. Circle-construction maximality conjecture. Both of these plane integral point sets are maximal. The claim concerns maximality of the two explicitly constructed families; the supplied text gives no proof or resolution.
