On a conjecture of Karasev

Combinatorics 2018-05-15 v2 Metric Geometry

Abstract

Karasev conjectured that for any set of 3k3k lines in general position in the plane, which is partitioned into 33 color classes of equal size kk, the set can be partitioned into kk colorful 3-subsets such that all the triangles formed by the subsets have a point in common. Although the general conjecture is false, we show that Karasev's conjecture is true for lines in convex position. We also discuss possible generalizations of this result.
