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…

We study the $RO(G)$-graded Bredon cohomology of a point in the case where $G$ is a cyclic group of odd order, expanding on the information provided by previous studies. Our methods center on the purely algebraic aspects of this matter,…

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…

Bredon cohomology is a cohomology theory that applies to topological spaces equipped with the group actions. For any group G, given a real linear representation V , the configuration space of V has a natural diagonal G-action. In the paper…

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…

We introduce a notion of freeness for $RO$-graded equivariant generalized homology theories, considering spaces or spectra $E$ such that the $R$-homology of $E$ splits as a wedge of the $R$-homology of induced virtual representation…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $V$ be a $G$-representation. We investigate the $RO(G)$-graded Bredon cohomology with constant integral coefficients of the space of ordered configurations in $V$. In the case that $V$ contains a trivial…

In this paper the Serre spectral sequence of Moerdijk and Svensson is extended from Bredon cohomology to RO(G)-graded cohomology for finite groups G. Special attention is paid to the case G=Z/2 where the spectral sequence is used to compute…

We prove that the Bredon homology or cohomology of the partition complex with fairly general coefficients is either trivial or computable in terms of constructions with the Steinberg module. The argument involves developing a theory of…

Many results in mass partitions are proved by lifting $\mathbb{R}^d$ to a higher-dimensional space and dividing the higher-dimensional space into pieces. We extend such methods to use lifting arguments to polyhedral surfaces. Among other…

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…
