Tverberg–Vrećica conjecture for regression depth

About 3 years old · traced to

Let 1≤k≤d1\leq k\leq d be integers, and let A1,…,Ad−k+1A_1,\dots,A_{d-k+1} be finite arrangements of hyperplanes in Rd\mathbb{R}^d. Assume that

∣Ai∣=(k+1)(ri−1)+1|A_i|=(k+1)(r_i-1)+1

for positive integers rir_i, for each i=1,…,d−k+1i=1,\dots,d-k+1. A kk-dimensional subspace LL, a point q∈Lq\in L, and a partition of each AiA_i into rir_i parts Ai(1),…,Ai(ri)A_i^{(1)},\dots,A_i^{(r_i)} should exist such that

RD(Ai(j),q,L)≥1RD(A_i^{(j)},q,L)\geq 1

for every i=1,…,d−k+1i=1,\dots,d-k+1 and j=1,…,rij=1,\dots,r_i. This is a regression-depth generalization of the center transversal and Tverberg theorems. The corresponding question remains open for finite families of points and was conjectured by Tverberg and Vrećica in 1993.
