+# Erdős Problem 114
+
+*Reference:* [erdosproblems.com/114](https://www.erdosproblems.com/114)
+
+The **Erdős--Herzog--Piranian lemniscate-length conjecture** asks whether,
+among monic complex polynomials of degree `n`, the lemniscate
+`{z : ℂ | ‖p.eval z‖ = 1}` has maximal length for `p = X ^ n - C 1`.
+
+The all-degree conjecture remains open.  The finite statement below records
+the current certificate-backed range `1 ≤ n ≤ 14`: degree `1` is elementary,
+degree `2` follows from the Eremenko--Hayman treatment, and degrees `3`
+through `14` are supported by the Mendoza finite-degree certificate packet.
+The Lean statements here do not formalize those external certificates.
