Blagojević–Frick–Ziegler's balanced Tverberg partition conjecture

About 11 years old · traced to

Let r≥2r\geq 2 be a prime power, d≥1d\geq 1, and N≥(r−1)(d+2)N\geq (r-1)(d+2). Let k≥0k\geq 0 and 0≤s<r0\leq s<r be integers satisfying

r(k+1)+s>N+1.r(k+1)+s>N+1.

For a continuous map f:ΔN→Rdf:\Delta_N\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^d, where ΔN\Delta_N is the NN-dimensional simplex, consider rr pairwise disjoint faces σ1,…,σr\sigma_1,\ldots,\sigma_r.

Blagojević–Frick–Ziegler's conjecture. There are rr pairwise disjoint faces σ1,…,σr\sigma_1,\ldots,\sigma_r of ΔN\Delta_N such that

f(σ1)∩⋯∩f(σr)≠∅,f(\sigma_1)\cap\cdots\cap f(\sigma_r)\neq\emptyset,

with dim⁡σi≤k+1\operatorname{dim}\sigma_i\leq k+1 for 1≤i≤s1\leq i\leq s and dim⁡σi≤k\operatorname{dim}\sigma_i\leq k for s<i≤rs<i\leq r.

The paper states that its main theorem proves this conjecture, so the claim is solved rather than open. It is a balanced, dimension-constrained form of the topological Tverberg theorem.
