How many sprays cover the space?

Logic 2026-03-11 v2 Metric Geometry

Abstract

For all d3d \geq 3 we show that the cardinality of R \mathbb{R} is at most n\aleph_n if and only if Rd \mathbb{R}^d can be covered with (n+1)(d1)+1 ( n + 1 ) ( d - 1 ) + 1 sprays whose centers are in general position in a hyperplane. This extends previous results by Schmerl when d=2 d = 2 .
