Abstract
A result of Matou\v{s}ek and R\"odl in 1995 states that for every and every triangle with circumradius , there exists a dimension such that every -coloring of the -dimensional sphere of radius , namely , contains a monochromatic congruent copy of . In this paper, we determine the exact threshold dimension for the unit equilateral triangle on the sphere : there exists a -coloring of with no monochromatic unit equilateral triangle, whereas every -coloring of contains one. Along the way, we also establish several further Euclidean Ramsey-type results on low-dimensional spheres, including asymmetric and isosceles variants.
