The self-similarity conjecture for extremal angle configurations
The self-similarity conjecture for extremal angle configurations
A point configuration is self-similar if there is a point such that every angle formed by three points of can also be formed with as one of the points: for all , there exist such that or . Self-similarity conjecture. For sufficiently large, a configuration of points in general position with the smallest possible number of distinct angles exhibits self-similarity. The paper notes that self-similar configurations have at most distinct angles and presents constructions with this property, but does not establish that every extremal configuration has it.
