Abstract
We generalize the ham sandwich theorem to measures in as follows. Let be absolutely continuous finite Borel measures on . Let for , and assume that . Assume that for every . Then there exists a hyperplane such that each open halfspace defined by satisfies for every and . As a consequence we obtain that every -colored set of points in such that no color is used for more than points can be partitioned into disjoint rainbow -dimensional simplices.
