acceptedErdős Problem #505 has status 'disproved (lean)'. Statement: **Erdős Problem 505** (disproved). Borsuk's conjecture is false for sufficiently large $n$: there exists a dimension $n$ and a bounded set $S \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ with positive diameter such that $S$ cannot be covered by $n + 1$ subsets each of diameter strictly less than $\operatorname{diam}(S)$. Erdős [Er44] suspected this. Disproved by Kahn–Kalai [KK93] for $n \geq 2015$. Currently known to be false for $n \geq 64$. A formal proof was formalised by Boris Alexeev using Aristotle. Topics: geometry. Erdős prize: no. Statement is machine-verified in Lean (formal-conjectures). OEIS: possible.

Review chain
- 01requestopen review →
Change request
Erdős problems frontier receives a reviewable source, finding, caveat, replication, evaluation, or proof-affecting edit.
- 02packetopen the campaign →
Diff packet
The packet names affected record objects, evidence, rationale, reviewer-facing fields, and expected proof impact.
- 03checksinspect checks →
Check output
Schema, provenance, benchmark, contradiction, and proof checks decide whether the request is ready to read.

Reviewer decision
A steward accepts, rejects, caveats, revises, or retracts the request under an inspectable identity.

Accepted event
Only the accepted event mutates frontier state. Atlases, constellations, and search update from that record state.
