In 1933, Borsuk conjectured that any bounded d-dimensional set of nonzero diameter can be broken into d + 1 parts of smaller diameter. This conjecture was disproved for large enough d, though it is true for low dimensional cases. The paper…

Let $f(d)$ be the smallest number so that every set in $R^d$ of diameter 1 can be partitioned into $f(d)$ sets of diameter smaller than 1. Borsuk's conjecture was that $f(d)\! =\!d\!+\!1$. We prove that $f(d)\! \ge\! (1.2)^{\sqrt d}$ for…

In this paper we answer Larman's question on Borsuk's conjecture for two-distance sets. We find a two-distance set consisting of 416 points on the unit sphere in the dimension 65 which cannot be partitioned into 83 parts of smaller…

It is presented the simplest known disproof of the Borsuk conjecture stating that if a bounded subset of n-dimensional Euclidean space contains more than n points, then the subset can be partitioned into n+1 nonempty parts of smaller…

In 1933 Karol Borsuk asked whether each bounded set in the n-dimensional Euclidean space can be divided into n+1 parts of smaller diameter. The diameter of a set is defined as the supremum (least upper bound) of the distances of contained…

Borsuk asked in 1933 if every set of diameter 1 in $R^d$ can be covered by $d+1$ sets of smaller diameter. In 1993, a negative solution, based on a theorem by Frankl and Wilson, was given by Kahn and Kalai. In this paper I will present…

Borsuk's conjecture states that any bounded set in R^n can be partitioned into n+1 sets of smaller diameter. It is known to be false for all n bigger or equal to 323. Here we show that Borsuk's conjecture fails in dimensions 321 and 322.…

In 1933, Karol Borsuk asked whether each bounded set in the $n$-dimensional Euclidean space can be divided into $n$+1 parts of smaller diameter. Because it would not make sense otherwise, one usually assumes that he just forgot to require…

In 1933, K. Borsuk proposed the following problem: Can every bounded set in $\mathbb{E}^n$ be divided into $n+1$ subsets of smaller diameters? In 1965, V. G. Boltyanski and I. T. Gohberg made the following conjecture: Every bounded set in…

In 1933, Borsuk proposed the following problem: Can every bounded set in $\mathbb{E}^n$ be divided into $n+1$ subsets of smaller diameters? This problem has been studied by many authors, and a lot of partial results have been discovered. In…

The Borsuk number of a set S of diameter d >0 in Euclidean n-space is the smallest value of m such that S can be partitioned into m sets of diameters less than d. Our aim is to generalize this notion in the following way: The k-fold Borsuk…

Every graph G can be embedded in a Euclidean space as a two-distance set. This allows us to reformulate the analogue of Borsuk's conjecture for two-distance sets in terms of graphs. This conjecture remains open for dimensions from 4 to 63.…

Borsuk conjectured that every n-dimensional bounded set of positive diameter can be partitioned into n+1 sets of smaller diameters. This conjecture was proved for n=2 by Borsuk, for n=3 first by Eggleston, and disproved for n > 297 by…

For an $r$-tuple $(\gamma_1,\ldots,\gamma_r)$ of special orthogonal $d\times d$ matrices, we say that the Euclidean $(d-1)$-dimensional sphere $S^{d-1}$ is $(\gamma_1,\ldots,\gamma_r)$-divisible if there is a subset $A\subseteq S^{d-1}$…

In the present paper, we study problems related to the classical Borsuk's problem. Recall that the Borsuk's problem consists in finding the smallest number $ f(n) $ of parts of smaller diameter into which an arbitrary set of diameter 1 in…

Quantitative estimates related to the classical Borsuk problem of splitting set in Euclidean space into subsets of smaller diameter are considered. For a given $k$ there is a minimal diameter of subsets at which there exists a covering with…

In the papers Ziegler(2001) and Goldstein(2012) it was previously shown that any subset of the Boolean cube $ S \subset \{0,1\}^n $ for $ n \leq 9 $ can be partitioned into $n+1$ parts of smaller diameter, i.e., the Borsuk conjecture holds…

There is the classical Radon theorem. Given integer $d \geq 1$ and $d+2$ points in d-dimensional space $R^d$. Then these points can be divided into two disjoint subsets whose convex hulls have a non-empty intersection. The original proof of…

Any function from a round $n$-dimensional sphere of radius $r$ into $n$-dimensional Euclidean space must distort the metric additively by at least $\displaystyle \frac{\pi r}{1 + \sqrt{1 - \frac{2}{n+2}}}$ if $n$ is even and $\displaystyle…

We give a short survey of problems and results on (1) diameter graphs and hypergraphs, and (2) geometric Ramsey theory. We also make some modest contributions to both areas. Extending a well known theorem of Kahn and Kalai which disproved…
