摘要

We give two extensions of the recent theorem of the first author that the odd distance graph has unbounded chromatic number. The first is that for any non-constant polynomial f with integer coefficients and positive leading coefficient, every finite colouring of the plane contains a monochromatic pair of distinct points whose distance is equal to f(n) for some integer n. The second is that for every finite colouring of the plane, there is a monochromatic pair of points whose distance is a prime number.
