Leader–Russell–Walters' transitive-set conjecture for Euclidean Ramsey sets

A finite set XRdX\subset\mathbb{R}^d is Ramsey if, for every kk, there exists an integer nn such that every kk-colouring of Rn\mathbb{R}^n contains a monochromatic isometric copy of XX. A finite set is transitive if a group acts transitively on it; a set is isometric to a subset of a finite transitive set when some finite transitive Euclidean set contains an isometric copy of it. Leader–Russell–Walters' conjecture. A set XRdX\subset\mathbb{R}^d is Ramsey if and only if it is isometric to a subset of a finite transitive set. This conjecture is presented as a rival to Graham's conjecture and concerns whether the known Ramsey constructions account for all Ramsey sets. The paper investigates the converse relationship with subsolubility and reports that only two possible exceptions remain among nearly all known examples.
