Bárány–Larman colorful Tverberg conjecture

About 11 years old · traced to

Let r,dr,d be positive integers. Given d+1d+1 sets X1,…,Xd+1X_1, \ldots, X_{d+1}, each consisting of rr points of \mathdsRd\mathds{R}^d, consider partitions of their union into rr sets A1,…,ArA_1, \ldots, A_r. Bárány–Larman colorful Tverberg conjecture. There exists such a partition in which each AjA_j has exactly one point of each XiX_i and the convex hulls of A1,…,ArA_1, \ldots, A_r intersect. The conjecture is the colorful version of Tverberg's theorem. It has been confirmed when r+1r+1 is prime or when d=2d=2, while the general case is not resolved in the supplied text.
