On the density of sets of the Euclidean plane avoiding distance 1Article

Authors: Thomas Bellitto ; Arnaud Pêcher ; Antoine Sédillot

    A subset AR2 is said to avoid distance 1 if: x,yA,xy21. In this paper we study the number m1(R2) which is the supremum of the upper densities of measurable sets avoiding distance 1 in the Euclidean plane. Intuitively, m1(R2) represents the highest proportion of the plane that can be filled by a set avoiding distance 1. This parameter is related to the fractional chromatic number χf(R2) of the plane. We establish that m1(R2)0.25647 and χf(R2)3.8991.
