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 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…

We use recent extensions of the Borsuk--Ulam theorem for Stiefel manifolds to generalize the ham sandwich theorem to mass assignments. A $k$-dimensional mass assignment continuously imposes a measure on each $k$-dimensional affine subspace…

In this paper, extending the recent work of authors with Calles Loperena and Dimitrijevi\'c Blagojevi\'c, we give a general and complete treatment of a problem of partition of mass assignments with prescribed arrangements of hyperplanes on…

In this paper, we generalize classic mass partition results dealing with partitions using spheres, parallel hyperplanes, or axis-parallel wedges to the setting of mass assignments. In a mass assignment problem, we assign mass distributions…

In a mass partition problem, we are interested in finding equitable partitions of smooth measures in $\mathbb{R}^d$. In this manuscript, we study the problem of finding simultaneous bisections of measures using scaled copies of a prescribed…

A union of an arrangement of affine hyperplanes $H$ in $R^d$ is the real algebraic variety associated to the principal ideal generated by the polynomial $p_{H}$ given as the product of the degree one polynomials which define the hyperplanes…

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…

We show that when $n$ is a power of two, any $nD$ measures in $\mathbb{R}^n$ can be bisected by an arrangement of $D$ hyperplanes.

While equivariant methods have seen many fruitful applications in geometric combinatorics, their inability to answer the now settled Topological Tverberg Conjecture has made apparent the need to move beyond the use of Borsuk--Ulam type…

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…

Fix a finite field. A hyperelliptic curve determines a measure on the discrete space of rank two bundles on the projective line: the mass of a given vector bundle is the number of line bundles whose pushforward it is. In a sequence of…

In this paper, motivated by recent work of Schnider and Axelrod-Freed \& Sober\'on, we study an extension of the classical Gr\"unbaum--Hadwiger--Ramos mass partition problem to mass assignments. Using the Fadell--Husseini index theory we…

The subject is traces of Sobolev spaces with mixed Lebesgue norms on Euclidean space. Specifically, restrictions to the hyperplanes given by the first and last coordinates are applied to functions belonging to quasi-homogeneous, mixed-norm…

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,…

We prove a new, tight upper bound on the number of incidences between points and hyperplanes in Euclidean d-space. Given n points, of which k are colored red, there are O_d(m^{2/3}k^{2/3}n^{(d-2)/3} + kn^{d-2} + m) incidences between the k…

One of our result is that 5 measurable sets in $R^8$ always admit an equipartition by 2 hyperplanes. This is an instance of a general equipartition problem (formulated by B. Gr{\" u}nbaum and H. Hadwiger) which can be reduced to the…
