Problem Statement

Prove that there exist 0<α<β<10 < \alpha< \beta<1 numbers have the following properties. (i) for any sufficiently large n, n points can be specified in R3\Bbb R^3 , so that each point is equidistant from at least nαn^\alpha other points. (ii) the above statement is no longer true with nβn^\beta instead of nαn^\alpha
