Grünbaum 20_4 Configuration


The Grünbaum 20_4 configuration is the term used in this work for the geometric 20_4 configuration constructed by Grünbaum (2008) and denoted G(20_4) by Berman et al. (2024). It consists of 20 points and 20 lines, with four points on each line and four lines through each point. Its construction disproved the conjecture of Grünbaum and Rigby (1990) that no geometric n_4 configuration exists for n<21.

The Grünbaum 204 graph, or Levi graph of the configuration, has 40 vertices and 80 edges and is a quartic graph and a bipartite graph.
