Abstract

We will prove the following generalization of the ham sandwich Theorem, conjectured by Imre B\'ar\'any. Given a positive integer kk and dd nice measures μ1,μ2,...,μd\mu_1, \mu_2,..., \mu_d in Rd\mathbb{R}^d such that μi(\mathdsRd)=k\mu_i (\mathds{R}^d) = k for all ii, there is a partition of Rd\mathbb{R}^d in kk interior-disjoint convex parts C1,C2,...,CkC_1, C_2,..., C_k such that μi(Cj)=1\mu_i (C_j) = 1 for all i,ji,j. If k=2k=2 this gives the ham sandwich Theorem.
