Bredon cohomology methods in mass partition problems on spheres

Algebraic Topology 2026-02-26 v1

Abstract

We apply RO(G)\mathrm{RO}(G)-graded Bredon cohomology to mass assignment problems, extending classical mass partition methods. Within this framework, we reprove a recent result of Lessure and Sober\'on: for n+1n+1 mass assignments on kk-dimensional affine subspaces of Rn\mathbb{R}^n, there exists a kk-subspace containing a sphere that simultaneously bisects all measures. This approach highlights a flexible topological framework with potential for broader applications.
