For a packing of unit disks in $\mathbb R^2$ whose density is sufficiently close to that of the triangular-lattice packing, join two centers when their distance is at most $2+\varepsilon$. Under what quantitative density assumptions must the resulting graph contain an infinite connected component?
For unit-disk packings in the Euclidean plane, how much can the density differ from the triangular-lattice maximum while retaining analogous structure; in particular, if centers at distance at most 2+\varepsilon are joined, must the resulting graph have an infinite connected component?

Conjecture: the diagonal online random Ramsey number satisfies \widetilde r_{\rm rand}(n,n)=2^{(1+o(1))(2/3)n}, and for fixed m\ge3 as n\to\infty, \widetilde r_{\rm rand}(m,n)=n^{(1+o(1))(2/3)m}.

Let $X$ be the number of triangles in $G_{n,p}$. Determine the logarithmic lower-tail asymptotics $$-\log\Pr\!\left(X\leq(1-\delta)\mathbb EX\right)$$ throughout the unresolved sparse regimes, particularly when $p=O(n^{-1/2})$.
Determine the asymptotics of -\log\Pr(X\ge(1+\delta)\mathbb E X) and -\log\Pr(X\le(1-\delta)\mathbb E X) when X is the number of triangles in G_{n,p}, including the sparse regime p\to0.

The assertion that all Grassmann polytopes, particularly amplituhedra, are positive geometries remains a conjecture; special cases and canonical-form results do not prove the general claim.
