Gan–Loh–Sudakov triangle extremal conjecture

About 12 years old · traced to

Let GG be a graph on nn vertices with maximum degree dd. Write

n=q(d+1)+r,0≤r≤d.n=q(d+1)+r,\qquad 0\le r\le d.

Here qq and rr are the quotient and remainder in the division of nn by d+1d+1. Gan–Loh–Sudakov's conjecture. The number of triangles in GG is at most

q(d+13)+(r3).q{d+1 \choose 3}+{r \choose 3}.

The paper's abstract states that this conjecture is resolved by the paper itself, so the claimed bound is a theorem rather than an open conjecture.
