Weak Dirac conjecture on ordinary lines
Let be a set of non-collinear points in the plane, and let be the set of lines determined by pairs of points of . A point is incident to the lines of that pass through it.
Weak Dirac conjecture. Every set of non-collinear points in the plane contains a point incident to at least
lines of .
The conjecture is used in the paper to obtain a lower bound for the distinct-angle quantity . It remains open, although significant progress is known.
