Soberón–Takahashi conjecture on bisection by parallel hyperplanes
Let and be positive integers. A finite absolutely continuous measure on is given for each of measures.
Soberón–Takahashi conjecture. Any finite absolutely continuous measures on can be simultaneously bisected by the chessboard coloring induced by or fewer parallel hyperplanes.
This conjecture concerns simultaneous mass bisection by parallel hyperplanes and generalizes the ham sandwich theorem. The case has been proved by Soberón and Takahashi and later by Blagojević and Crabb; the general conjecture remains open.
