Abstract

A subset XX in the dd-dimensional Euclidean space is called a kk-distance set if there are exactly kk distances between two distinct points in XX. Einhorn and Schoenberg conjectured that the vertices of the regular icosahedron is the only 12-point three-distance set in R3\mathbb{R}^3 up to isomorphism. In this paper, we prove the uniqueness of 12-point three-distance sets in R3\mathbb{R}^3.
