A "ham sandwich" theorem is derived for n complex Borel measures on C^n. For each integer m>=2, it shown that there exists a regular m-fan centered about a complex hyperplane, satisfying the condition that for each complex measure, the "Z_m…

Let m_1,...,m_n be continuous probability measures on R^n and a_1,...,a_n in [0,1]. When does there exist an oriented hyperplane H such that the positive half-space H^+ has m_i(H^+)=a_i for all i in [n]? It is well known that such a…

We generalize the ham sandwich theorem to $d+1$ measures in $\mathbb{R}^d$ as follows. Let $\mu_1,\mu_2, \dots, \mu_{d+1}$ be absolutely continuous finite Borel measures on $\mathbb{R}^d$. Let $\omega_i=\mu_i(\mathbb{R}^d)$ for $i\in…

We prove a common generalization to several mass partition results using hyperplane arrangements to split $\mathbb{R}^d$ into two sets. Our main result implies the ham-sandwich theorem, the necklace splitting theorem for two thieves, a…

The classical Ham Sandwich theorem states that any $d$ point sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$ can be simultaneously bisected by a single affine hyperplane. A generalization of Dolnikov asserts that any $d$ families of pairwise intersecting compact,…

A "ham sandwich" theorem is established for n quaternionic Borel measures on quaternionic space H^n. For each finite subgroup G of S^3, it is shown that there is a quaternionic hyperplane H and a corresponding tiling of H^n into |G|…

The classic Ham-Sandwich theorem states that for any $d$ measurable sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$, there is a hyperplane that bisects them simultaneously. An extension by B\'ar\'any, Hubard, and Jer\'onimo [DCG 2008] states that if the sets are…

We generalize the ham sandwich theorem for the case of well separated measures. Given convex bodies $K_1,...,K_d$ in $\mathbb{R_d}$ and numbers $\alpha_1,...,\alpha_d \in [0, 1]$, we give a sufficient condition for existence and uniqueness…

The conclusion of the classical ham sandwich theorem of Banach and Steinhaus may be strengthened: there always exists a common bisecting hyperplane that touches each of the sets, that is, intersects the closure of each set. Hence, if the…

The famous Ham-Sandwich theorem states that any $d$ point sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$ can be simultaneously bisected by a single hyperplane. The $\alpha$-Ham-Sandwich theorem gives a sufficient condition for the existence of biased cuts, i.e.,…

The Ham-Sandwich theorem is a well-known result in geometry. It states that any $d$ mass distributions in $\mathbb{R}^d$ can be simultaneously bisected by a hyperplane. The result is tight, that is, there are examples of $d+1$ mass…

Motivated by an open problem from graph drawing, we study several partitioning problems for line and hyperplane arrangements. We prove a ham-sandwich cut theorem: given two sets of n lines in R^2, there is a line l such that in both line…

For a given hypergraph $H$ and a vertex $v\in V(H)$, consider a random matching $M$ chosen uniformly from the set of all matchings in $H.$ In $1995,$ Kahn conjectured that if $H$ is a $d$-regular linear $k$-uniform hypergraph, the…

A generalization of the Borsuk-Ulam theorem to Stiefel manifolds is considered. This theorem is applied to derive bounds on $d$ that guarantee-for a given set of $m$ measures in $\mathbb{R}^d$-the existence of $k$ mutually orthogonal…

Let $\mbox{$\cal V$} \subseteq {\mathbb F}^n$ be a finite set of points in an affine space. A finite set of affine hyperplanes $\{H_1, \ldots ,H_m\}$ is said to be an almost cover of $\mbox{$\cal V$}$ and $\mathbf{v}$, if their union…

In this paper, we prove a result on the bisection of mass assignments by parallel hyperplanes on Euclidean vector bundles. Our methods consist of the development of a novel lifting method to define the configuration space--test map scheme,…

We prove an extension of a ham sandwich theorem for families of lines in the plane by Dujmovi\'{c} and Langerman. Given two sets $A, B$ of $n$ lines each in the plane, we prove that it is possible to partition the plane into $r$ convex…
