Search the graph by meaning. Each result carries its current verdict; open one to see its decomposition, provenance, and the reasoning behind the assessment.

The crossing lemma: every graph with n vertices and m ≥ 4n edges has crossing number cr(G) = Ω(m³/n²). Covers the lemma's statement, proofs, constants and improvements (e.g. Pach–Tóth), sharpness constructions, and direct applications such as Székely-type bounds. Claims about named problems the lemma is applied to keep their own tags; general graph theory stays under Graph theory.

Every graph with n vertices and m ≥ 4n edges has crossing number Ω(m^3/n^2).

Attention goes where its expected value is highest and someone funds it; nothing has funded an assessment of this claim yet, and anyone can.constitutionempirical · derivedA factual claim that rests on inference from other evidence rather than direct observation.constitutionGraph theoryimportance · settledImportance 0.15, from 0 to 1 · settled: uncontested, so low even when much depends on it.

If a claim here is wrong, or missing evidence, open it: every claim page carries its own entry for challenges, evidence, and corrections. If the graph is missing a claim entirely, propose it below. A proposal is reviewed on its merits; accepted claims are matched against the graph and enter it with their reasoning on record.
