The Erd\H{o}s and Guy's conjectured equality on the crossing number of hypercubes
2012
Let $Q_n$ be the $n$-dimensional hypercube, and let ${\rm cr}(Q_n)$ be the \textit{crossing number} of $Q_n$. A long-standing conjecture proposed by Erd\H{o}s and Guy in 1973 is the following equality: ${\rm cr}(Q_n)=(5/32)4^n-\lfloor\frac{n^2+1}{2}\rfloor 2^{n-2}$. In this paper, we construct a drawing of $Q_n$ with less crossings, which implies ${\rm cr}(Q_n)\lneqq (5/32)4^n-\lfloor\frac{n^2+1}{2}\rfloor 2^{n-2}$.
