LeanPool.HadwigerNelsonBounds.PartsSpindle

The Parts spindle and the known bounds #

Two copies of the forced distance-four pair share one endpoint. Rotating the second copy through cosine 31/32 makes the remaining endpoints unit-adjacent, contradicting a proper four-coloring.

The distance-four vector between the translated gadget endpoints.

Instances For

    Translate the first doubled patch so its left endpoint is the origin.

        Parts lower bound. The unit-distance graph of the Euclidean plane has no proper coloring with four colors.

        Known bounds for the Hadwiger--Nelson problem: 5 ≤ χ(ℝ²) ≤ 7.
