Closing in on Hill's Conjecture

Abstract: Borrowing László Székely's lively expression, we show that Hill's conjecture is "asymptotically at least 98.5% true". This long-standing conjecture states that the crossing number cr(K n

“…The main power comes from the possibility of formulating a problem as a semidefinite program and using a computer to solve it. The method can be applied in various settings such as graphs [28,44], hypergraphs [3,19], oriented graphs [29,37], edge-coloured graphs [5,12], permutations [6,55], discrete geometry [7,36], or phylogenetic trees [1]. For a detailed explanation of the flag algebra method in the setting of 3-uniform hypergraphs see [22].…”

“…In particular, proving the convex or h-convex crossing number of K n is H(n) would establish this case of the SGUBC. Flag algebras are used by Balogh et al [8] to show that lim n→∞ cr(K n )/H(n) > 0.985. Restricted to convex drawings, the same technique gets a lower bound of 0.996.…”
