Kalai's cascade consequence for higher Tverberg partitions

About 5 years old · traced to

Let d,rd,r be positive integers and let kk be a non-negative integer. A Tverberg (r+1)(r+1)-partition of a finite point set is a partition into r+1r+1 parts whose convex hulls have a common point. Kalai's cascade consequence. If SS is a set of (r−1)(d+1)+k+2(r-1)(d+1)+k+2 points in Rd\mathbb{R}^d and

dim⁡(Tr(S))≤k,\dim(T_r(S))\leq k,

then SS has at least one Tverberg (r+1)(r+1)-partition. This is presented as a direct consequence of Kalai's cascade conjecture and remains unconfirmed except when r=1r=1 or d≤2d\leq 2; the case r=1r=1 is Radon's theorem.
