. In this paper we consider lower bounds for external-memory computational geometry problems. We (cid:12)nd that it is not quite clear which model of computation to use when considering such problems. As an attempt of providing a model, we de(cid:12)ne the external memory Turing machine model, and we derive lower bounds for a number of problems, including the element distinct-ness problem, in this model. For these lower bounds we make the standard assumption that records are indivisible. Waiving the indivisibility assumption we show how to beat the lower bound for element distinctness. As an alternative model, we brie(cid:13)y discuss an external-memory version of the algebraic computation tree.
