arXiv:2611.13066v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Erd\H{o}s, Graham, Montgomery, Rothschild, Spencer, and Straus conjectured that for each non-equilateral triangle $\operatorname{T}$, every 2-coloring of the plane contains a congruent copy of $\operatorname{T}$ with monochromatic vertex set. We confirm this conjecture for triangles with a ratio $\sqrt{7/3}$ between two side lengths. We further prove that every coloring of the plane, regardless of the number of colors used, contains congruent copies of 36 specific triangles with monochromatic or rainbow vertex sets, partially answering a question of Geh\'er, Sagdeev, and T\'oth. Both these results were obtained by considering finite configurations on the triangular lattice.
