Galvin's conjecture on two-colour homogeneous copies of the rationals

Let KK be a positive natural number, and let c:[R]2Kc:[\mathbb R]^2 \rightarrow K be a colouring of pairs of reals. Galvin's conjecture. There is a set of reals YY homeomorphic to Q\mathbb Q such that

c[Y]22.|c“[Y]^2| \leq 2.

This was an open problem attributed to Galvin and asked whether Galvin's theorem for order-isomorphic copies of Q\mathbb Q could be strengthened to homeomorphic copies. The conjecture is verified by Corollary B of the paper.
