*********************************** * Princeton Discrete Math Seminar * *********************************** Speaker: Cosmin Pohoata (Emory U.) Thursday 28th September, 3:00 in Fine Hall 224. Title: A new upper bound for the Heilbronn triangle problem We discuss a new upper bound for the Heilbronn triangle problem, showing that for sufficiently large n, in every configuration of n points chosen inside a unit square, there exists a triangle of area less than n^{-8/7-1/2000}. This is joint work with Alex Cohen and Dmitrii Zakharov. ---------------------------------- Anyone wishing to be added to or removed from the mailing list should contact Paul Seymour (pds@math.princeton.edu)
