Bárány–Larman colored Tverberg conjecture

About 10 years old · traced to

Let F1,…,Fd+1F_1,\ldots,F_{d+1} be families of rr points each in \mathdsRd\mathds{R}^d, considered as color classes. A colorful partition is a partition into rr sets A1,…,ArA_1,\ldots,A_r such that each part has exactly one point of each color. Bárány–Larman's colored Tverberg conjecture. There is a colorful partition such that

⋂j=1rconv⁡(Aj)≠∅.\bigcap_{j=1}^r \operatorname{conv}(A_j)\neq\emptyset.

This is a long-standing open problem concerning a colorful analogue of Tverberg's theorem.
