A Borsuk--Ulam theorem for well separated maps

Algebraic Topology 2024-01-05 v1

Abstract

Suppose that f1,,fm:S(V)Rf_1,\ldots ,f_m : S(V)\to R are mm (1\geq 1) continuous functions defined on the unit sphere in a Euclidean vector space VV of dimension m+1m+1 satisfying fi(v)=fi(v)f_i(-v)=-f_i(v) for all vS(V)v\in S(V). The classical Borsuk-Ulam theorem asserts that the image of the map (f1,,fm):S(V)Rm(f_1,\ldots ,f_m) :S(V)\to R^m contains 0=(0,,0)0=(0,\ldots ,0). Pursuing ideas in papers of B\'ar\'any, Hubard and J\'eronimo (2008) and Frick and Wellner (2023), we show that a certain separation property will guarantee that the image contains an mm-cube.
