Title: Non-measurable colourings avoiding large distances
Speaker: | James Davies |
Affiliation: | University of Waterloo |
Location: | MC 5417 |
Abstract: "In 1983, F{\"u}rstenberg, Katznelson, and Weiss proved that for every finite measurable colouring of the plane, there exists a $d_0$ such that for every $d \ge d_0$ there is a monochromatic pair of points at distance $d$. In contrast to this, we show that there is a finite colouring avoiding arbitrarily large distances.
Joint work with Rutger Campbell."
