Abstract

We present short proofs of Tverberg-type theorems for cell complexes by S. Hasui, D. Kishimoto, M. Takeda, and M. Tsutaya. One of them states that for any prime power rr, any complex XX topologically homeomorphic to S(d+1)(r1)1S^{(d+1)(r-1)-1}, and any continuous map f:XRdf:X\to\mathbb R^d there are pairwise disjoint faces σ1,,σr\sigma_1,\ldots,\sigma_r of XX such that f(σ1)f(σr)f(\sigma_1)\cap\ldots f(\sigma_r)\ne\emptyset.
