De Loera–La Haye–Oliveros–Roldán-Pensado conjecture on the Helly number of the prime lattice

About 6 years old · traced to

Let P\mathcal{P} be the set of prime numbers, and let h(S)h(S) denote the Helly number of a set S⊆R2S\subseteq\mathbb{R}^2. De Loera–La Haye–Oliveros–Roldán-Pensado conjecture.

h(P2)=∞.h(\mathcal{P}^2)=\infty.

This conjecture concerns the finiteness of Helly numbers for discrete planar sets and was cited as an open problem motivating the paper's study of exponential lattices.
