Gallai triangles in configurations of lines in the projective plane
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Volume 354 (2016) no. 6, pp. 551-554

A question by Paul Erdős about the existence of Gallai triangles in arrangements of d real lines in the projective plane, with no more than three lines incident to each vertex, is answered in the negative for all d higher than three.

La note répond négativement à une question posée par Paul Erdős concernant l'existence de triangles de Gallai dans les configurations de d droites réelles du plan projective, dans la situation où d>3 et où au plus trois droites concourent en chaque sommet.
