OpenAI reports a power saving for planar halving lines

Some absolute ε>0 and C bound the number of unordered halving pairs in every sufficiently large even n-point planar set with no three collinear by Cn^(4/3−ε).

Understanding the problem

Read the background

Some absolute ε>0 and C bound the number of unordered halving pairs in every sufficiently large even n-point planar set with no three collinear by Cn^(4/3−ε).

Why it matters

If correct, gives a fixed power improvement over the longstanding planar halving-line bound.

What counts as progress

Can the number of planar halving lines be bounded by a fixed power below n^(4/3)?
