Langerman's conjecture on bisection by hyperplanes
Let a mass distribution in be a measure for which the bisection notion is defined. A set of hyperplanes bisects a mass distribution when, after orienting the hyperplanes, the two checkerboard regions determined by the parity of the number of positive sides have equal mass. Langerman's conjecture. Any mass distributions in can be simultaneously bisected by hyperplanes. This generalizes the Ham-Sandwich theorem to several hyperplane cuts and the checkerboard bisection induced by their arrangement. The conjecture has been proved for several values of and , but remains open in full generality.
