Abstract:
An old open problem in Euclidean Ramsey theory asks if the points in $E^3$ are coloured in red and blue, does there exist either a red pair of points at unit distance or six collinear blue points separated by unit distances? After a short survey of related problems, I will give a positive answer to this problem and outline the proof. This talk is based on a joint work with Sergei Tsaturian.
