Erdős et al.'s conjecture on monochromatic copies of nonequilateral triangles

At least 18 years old · documented by

Let a coloring χ\chi be a partition of R2\mathbb{R}^2 into two color classes. A coloring contains a triangle TT if there is a monochromatic copy of TT, where copies are obtained by translations and rotations in the plane. A triangle is nonequilateral if its three side lengths are not all equal. Erdős et al.'s conjecture. Every coloring χ\chi contains every nonequilateral triangle TT. The source states that this conjecture remains open; it concerns whether every two-coloring of the plane necessarily contains a monochromatic copy of each fixed nonequilateral triangle.
