We collect some recent results that together provide an almost complete answer to the question stated in the title. For the dimension $d = 2$ the answer is three. For the dimensions $d = 3$ and $d \geq 5$ the answer is four. For the dimension $d = 4$ the answer is either three or four. Curiously, the exact number in $d = 4$ seems to be an open problem.

Abstract
We collect some recent results that together provide an almost complete answer to the question stated in the title. For the dimension $d = 2$ the answer is three. For the dimensions $d = 3$ and $d \geq 5$ the answer is four. For the dimension $d = 4$ the answer is either three or four. Curiously, the exact number in $d = 4$ seems to be an open problem.File in questo prodotto:
