A coloring of the plane without monochromatic right triangles. (English) Zbl 1538.03015
It was shown by P. Erdős and P. Komjáth [Discrete Comput. Geom. 5, No. 4, 325–331 (1990; Zbl 0723.52005)] that CH is equivalent to “there is a coloring of the plane with countably many colors, with no monochromatic right triangle”.
The proof of the direction from left to right was incomplete. Here, the authors give a full, correct proof.
