The transversal-dimension conjecture for colorful Helly families
The transversal-dimension conjecture for colorful Helly families
Let be a positive integer, and let be a -colored family of convex sets in . Write for the Colorful Helly hypothesis. A family is crossed by -flats if every member of the family meets at least one of those flats.
Transversal-dimension conjecture. For every integer with , there exist numbers such that, for every -colored family satisfying , there exist numbers satisfying
and each color class , for , can be crossed by -flats.
This conjecture proposes a stronger structural consequence of the Colorful Helly hypothesis than the results established earlier in the paper, by simultaneously controlling the transversal dimensions of all color classes. The supplied text does not state whether the conjecture is open or resolved.
