Borsuk's Problem in Metric Spaces

Metric Geometry 2022-10-13 v1

Abstract

In 1933, K. Borsuk proposed the following problem: Can every bounded set in En\mathbb{E}^n be divided into n+1n+1 subsets of smaller diameters? In 1965, V. G. Boltyanski and I. T. Gohberg made the following conjecture: Every bounded set in an nn-dimensional metric space can be divided into 2n2^n subsets of smaller diameters. In this paper, we prove the following result: Every bounded set in an nn-dimensional metric space can be divided into 2n((n+1)log(n+1)+(n+1)loglog(n+1)+5n+5)2^{n}((n+1)\log (n+1)+(n+1)\log \log (n+1)+5n+5) subsets of smaller diameters.
