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…

We study colorful no-dimensional Tverberg-type problems and obtain several optimal results. A colorful no-dimensional Tverberg-type theorem provides a bound on a radius $R$ such that, for any pairwise disjoint $k$-element subsets…

Recently, Adiprasito et al. have initiated the study of the so-called no-dimensional Tverberg problem. This problem can be informally stated as follows: Given $n\geq k$, partition an $n$-point set in Euclidean space into $k$ parts such that…

Let P be a d-dimensional n-point set. A Tverberg-partition of P is a partition of P into r sets P_1, ..., P_r such that the convex hulls conv(P_1), ..., conv(P_r) have non-empty intersection. A point in the intersection of the conv(P_i)'s…

Let $P$ be a $d$-dimensional $n$-point set. A partition $T$ of $P$ is called a Tverberg partition if the convex hulls of all sets in $T$ intersect in at least one point. We say $T$ is $t$-tolerant if it remains a Tverberg partition after…

The coloured Tverberg theorem was conjectured by B\'ar\'any, Lov\'{a}sz and F\"uredi and asks whether for any d+1 sets (considered as colour classes) of k points each in R^d there is a partition of them into k colourful sets whose convex…

The well know theorem of Tverberg states that if n > (d+1)(r-1) then one can partition any set of n points in R^d to r disjoint subsets whose convex hulls have a common point. The numbers T(d,r) = (d + 1)(r - 1) + 1 are known as Tverberg…

Tverberg's theorem is one of the cornerstones of discrete geometry. It states that, given a set $X$ of at least $(d+1)(r-1)+1$ points in $\mathbb R^d$, one can find a partition $X=X_1\cup \ldots \cup X_r$ of $X$, such that the convex hulls…

Let $P$ be a set $n$ points in a $d$-dimensional space. Tverberg's theorem says that, if $n$ is at least $(k-1)(d+1)+1$, then $P$ can be partitioned into $k$ sets whose convex hulls intersect. Partitions with this property are called {\em…

$\newcommand{\floor}[1]{\left\lfloor {#1} \right\rfloor} \renewcommand{\Re}{\mathbb{R}}$ Tverberg's theorem states that a set of $n$ points in $\Re^d$ can be partitioned into $\floor{n/(d+1)}$ sets with a common intersection. A point in…

A seminal theorem of Tverberg states that any set of $T(r,d)=(r-1)(d+1)+1$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ can be partitioned into $r$ subsets whose convex hulls have non-empty $r$-fold intersection. Almost any collection of fewer points in…

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…

The colorful Helly theorem and Tverberg's theorem are fundamental results in discrete geometry. We prove a theorem which interpolates between the two. In particular, we show the following for any integers $d \geq m \geq 1$ and $k$ a prime…

We use the probabilistic method to obtain versions of the colorful Carath\'eodory theorem and Tverberg's theorem with tolerance. In particular, we give bounds for the smallest integer $N=N(t,d,r)$ such that for any $N$ points in $R^d$,…
