Kaczynski's vanishing-area conjecture for unrestricted trapezoids

About 3 years old · traced to

Let Pj,knP_{j,k}^n be the parallelograms defining an unrestricted trapezoid TσnT^n_\sigma for a permutation σ∈Sym⁡(n)\sigma\in\operatorname{Sym}(n), and let

α(n)=min⁡σ∈Sym⁡(n)μ2(Tσn).\alpha(n)=\min_{\sigma\in\operatorname{Sym}(n)}\mu_2(T^n_\sigma).

Kaczynski's vanishing-area conjecture.

lim⁡n→∞α(n)=0.\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\alpha(n)=0.

Kaczynski claimed to have proved this, and the paper states that it follows from Proposition 1; thus the conjecture is resolved in the source.
