Unit-Area Triangles in Planar Sets of Large Measure

Analysis · posed by Ronald Graham · solved

1 attempt

Statement

How large can a measurable A[0,R]2A \subseteq [0,R]^2 be while avoiding the vertices of upward-oriented axis-aligned right triangles of area 1/21/2? At most Oc(R2/(logR)c)O_c(R^2/(\log R)^c), with a matching-shaped lower bound construction.

Context

A Graham-style question on avoiding fixed-area configurations in sets of large measure, in the corners and Roth-type tradition.

    The AI usage declaration names two distinct contributions: ChatGPT 5.4 Pro constructed the example giving the lower bound, and was also used to clarify a cryptic remark of Graham and reconstruct its intended proof. Gemini drew a figure. The authors state the ideas, proofs and writing are theirs.
