#### Maximum Number of Almost Similar Triangles in the Plane

###### Felix Clemen (UIUC)

Abstract: A triangle $T'$ is $\epsilon$-similar to another triangle $T$ if their angles pairwise differ by at most $\epsilon$. Given a triangle $T$, $\epsilon>0$ and a natural number $n$, Bárány and Füredi asked to determine the maximum number of triangles being $\epsilon$-similar to $T$ in a planar point set of size $n$. We determine this quantity for almost all triangles $T$ and sufficiently small $\epsilon$. Exploring connections to hypergraph Turán problems, we use flag algebras and stability techniques for the proof. This is joint work with József Balogh and Bernard Lidický.
