Abstract

In 1933, Borsuk made a conjecture that every nn-dimensional bounded set can be divided into n+1n+1 subsets of smaller diameter. Up to now, the problem is still open for 4n634\leq n\leq 63. In this paper, we firstly discuss the Banach-Mazur distance between the nn-dimensional cube and the p\ell_{p} ball (1p<2)(1\leq p< 2), then we study the generalized Borsuk's partition problem in metric spaces and prove that all bounded sets XX in every four-dimensional p\ell_{p} space can be divided into 242^4 subsets of smaller diameter.
