Erd?s problems and related topics of discrete geometry (52C10)

Abstract: In 1989, ErdH{o}s conjectured that for a sufficiently large $n$ it is impossible to place $n$ points in general position in a plane such that for every $1leilen-1$ there is a distance that occurs exactly $i$ times. For small $n$ this is possible and in his paper he provided constructions for $nleq8$. The one for $n=5$ was due to Pomerance while Pal'{a}sti came up with the constructions for $n=7,8$. Constructions for $n=9$ and above remain undiscovered, and little headway has been made toward a proof that for sufficiently large $n$ no configuration exists. In this paper we consider a natural generalization to higher dimensions and provide a construction which shows that for any given $n$ there exists a sufficiently large dimension $d$ such that there is a configuration in $d$-dimensional space meeting ErdH{o}s' criteria.
