We prove a new theorem of Tverberg type which confirms the conjecture of Blagojevic, Frick, and Ziegler about the existence of "balanced Tverberg partitions" (Conjecture 6.6 in, Tverberg plus constraints, Bull. London Math. Soc., 46 (2014)…
We prove a "multiple colored Tverberg theorem" and a "balanced colored Tverberg theorem", by applying different methods, tools and ideas. The proof of the first theorem uses multiple chessboard complexes (as configuration spaces) and…
The topological Tverberg theorem has been generalized in several directions by setting extra restrictions on the Tverberg partitions. Restricted Tverberg partitions, defined by the idea that certain points cannot be in the same part, are…
We give an alternative proof of the striking new Tverberg type theorem of Blagojevic and Ziegler, arXiv:0910.4987v1 [math.CO]. Our method also yields some new cases of "constrained Tverberg thereom" in the sense of Hell, including a simple…
The type A colored Tverberg theorem of Blagojevi\'{c}, Matschke, and Ziegler provides optimal bounds for the colored Tverberg problem, under the condition that the number of intersecting rainbow simplices is a prime number. We extend this…
Given a finite set of points in $\mathbb{R}^d$, Tverberg's theorem guarantees the existence of partitions of this set into parts whose convex hulls intersect. We introduce a graph structured on the family of Tverberg partitions of a given…
In 2009, Blagojevic, Matschke & Ziegler established the first tight colored Tverberg theorem, but no lower bounds for the number of colored Tverberg partitions. We develop a colored version of our previous results (2008), and we extend our…
We give a complete combinatorial characterization of weakly $d$-Tverberg complexes. These complexes record which intersection combinatorics of convex hulls necessarily arise in any sufficiently large general position point set in $\mathbb…
Chessboard complexes and their generalizations, as objects, and Discrete Morse theory, as a tool, are presented as a unifying theme linking different areas of geometry, topology, algebra and combinatorics. Edmonds and Fulkerson bottleneck…
The aim of this paper is to generalize the notion of the coloring complex of a graph to hypergraphs. We present three different interpretations of those complexes -- a purely combinatorial one and two geometric ones. It is shown, that most…
Tverberg's theorem states that for any $k \ge 2$ and any set $P \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ of at least $(d + 1)(k - 1) + 1$ points in $d$ dimensions, we can partition $P$ into $k$ subsets whose convex hulls have a non-empty intersection. The…
Tverberg's theorem bounds the number of points $\mathbb{R}^d$ needed for the existence of a partition into $r$ parts whose convex hulls intersect. If the points are colored with $N$ colors, we seek partitions where each part has at most one…
Many of the strengthenings and extensions of the topological Tverberg theorem can be derived with surprising ease directly from the original theorem: For this we introduce a proof technique that combines a concept of "Tverberg unavoidable…
One widely applied sufficient condition for the existence of a colorful simplex in a vertex-colored simplicial complex is a topological extension of Hall's transversal theorem due to Aharoni, Haxell, and Meshulam. We prove a similar…
This is a treatise on finite point configurations spanning a fixed volume to be found in a single color-class of an arbitrary finite (measurable) coloring of the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$, or in a single large measurable subset…
We consider the chessboard pebbling problem analyzed by Chung, Graham, Morrison and Odlyzko [3]. We study the number of reachable configurations $G(k)$ and a related double sequence $G(k,m)$. Exact expressions for these are derived, and we…
Multi-layer graphs consist of several graphs (layers) over the same vertex set. They are motivated by real-world problems where entities (vertices) are associated via multiple types of relationships (edges in different layers). We chart the…
Recently, connections have been explored between the complexity of finite problems in graph theory and the complexity of their infinite counterparts. As is shown in our paper (and in independent work of Tirza Hirst and D. Harel from a…
The main result provide a common generalization for Ramsey-type theorems concerning finite colorings of edge sets of complete graphs with vertices in infinite semigroups. We capture the essence of theorems proved in different fields: for…
We provide an algorithm that verifies the optimal colored Tverberg problem for $10$ points in the plane: Every $10$ points in the plane in color classes of size at most $3$ can be partitioned in $4$ rainbow pieces such that their convex…
