The divisibility embedding conjecture

About 25 years old · traced to

Let M⊂ZnM\subset\mathbb{Z}^n be a set of points such that the distances between any two points of MM are integer and divisible by a number kk. In this setting, MM is congruent to a set after scaling by kk if there is a set N⊂ZnN\subset\mathbb{Z}^n such that kNkN is congruent to MM.

Divisibility embedding conjecture. There is a set N⊂ZnN\subset\mathbb{Z}^n such that k⋅Nk\cdot N is congruent to MM.

The paper states that this formulation is equivalent to the integer-distances to integer-coordinates embedding conjecture. No resolution is supplied.
