Equipartitions of measures in $\mathbb{R}^4$

Abstract

We prove that each measure μ\mu in R4R^4 admits an equipartition by 4 hyperplanes, provided that it is symmetric with respect to a 2-dimensional, affine subspace LL of R4R^4. Moreover we show, by computing the complete obstruction in the relevant group of normal bordisms, that without the symmetry condition, a naturally associated topological problem has a negative solution. The computation is based on the Koschorke's exact singularity sequence and the remarkable properties of the essentially unique, balanced binary Gray code in dimension 4.
