Isometry overlap bound for finite planar point sets

About 15 years old · traced to

Let P⊂R2{\mathcal P}\subset\mathbb R^2 be a finite point set. An isometry is a distance-preserving map φ:R2→R2\varphi:\mathbb R^2\to\mathbb R^2. The isometry overlap conjecture. There is an absolute constant CC such that

#{φ:R2→R2 isometry  ;  ∣φ(P)∩P∣≥2}≤C∣P∣3.\#\{\varphi:\mathbb R^2\to\mathbb R^2\text{ isometry}\;;\;|\varphi({\mathcal P})\cap{\mathcal P}|\ge 2\}\le C|{\mathcal P}|^3.

The statement asks for a uniform incidence bound for congruent copies of a finite planar point set. The source explicitly presents this case as unknown; no resolution is supplied here.
