In 1989 Helge Tverberg proposed a quite general conjecture in Discrete Geometry, which could be considered as the common basis for many results in Combinatorial Geometry, and at the same time as a discrete analogue of the common transversal theorems. It implies or contains as special cases many classical "coincidence" results such as Radon's theorem, Rado's theorem, the Ham sandwich theorem, "non-embeddability" results (e.g. non-embeddability of graphs K 5 and K 3,3 in R 2 ), etc. The main goal of this short note is to verify this conjecture in one new, non-trivial case. We obtain the continuous version of the conjecture. So, it is not surprising that we use topological methods, or more precisely the methods of equivariant topology and the theory of characteristic classes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
