摘要

A result of Matou\v{s}ek and R\"odl in 1995 states that for every ε>0\varepsilon>0 and every triangle TT with circumradius ρ(T)\rho(T), there exists a dimension n=n(ε,T)n=n(\varepsilon,T) such that every 22-coloring of the nn-dimensional sphere of radius ρ(T)+ε\rho(T)+\varepsilon, namely Sn(ρ(T)+ε)\mathbb{S}^{n}(\rho(T)+\varepsilon), contains a monochromatic congruent copy of TT. In this paper, we determine the exact threshold dimension for the unit equilateral triangle on the sphere Sn(1/2)\mathbb{S}^{n}(1/\sqrt{2}): there exists a 22-coloring of S2(1/2)\mathbb{S}^{2}(1/\sqrt{2}) with no monochromatic unit equilateral triangle, whereas every 22-coloring of S3(1/2)\mathbb{S}^{3}(1/\sqrt{2}) contains one. Along the way, we also establish several further Euclidean Ramsey-type results on low-dimensional spheres, including asymmetric and isosceles variants.
