相关论文: A counterexample to Borsuk's conjecture

In the concluding remarks of their 1993 published and now famous paper, Jeff Kahn and Gil Kalai wrote in particular: "Our construction shows that Borsuk's conjecture is false for d = 1,325 and for every d > 2,014." But, as Bernulf Weiszbach…

A conjecture of Graham (repeated by Erd\H{o}s) asserts that for any set $A \subseteq \mathbb{F}_p \setminus \{0\}$, there is an ordering $a_1, \ldots, a_{|A|}$ of the elements of $A$ such that the partial sums $a_1, a_1+a_2, \ldots,…

The well know theorem of Tverberg states that if n > (d+1)(r-1) then one can partition any set of n points in R^d to r disjoint subsets whose convex hulls have a common point. The numbers T(d,r) = (d + 1)(r - 1) + 1 are known as Tverberg…

We show that if A is a large subset of a box in Z^d with dimensions L_1 >= L_2 >= ... >= L_d which are all reasonably large, then |A + A| > 2^{d/48}|A|. By combining this with Chang's quantitative version of Freiman's theorem, we prove a…

A family $\mathcal{F}$ of subsets of $[n]=\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ shatters a set $A \subseteq [n]$ if for every $A' \subseteq A$ there is an $F \in \mathcal{F}$ such that $F \cap A=A'$. We develop a framework to analyze $f(n,k,d)$, the maximum…

The aim of this paper is to demonstrate relations between Gromov-Hausdorff distance properties and the Borsuk Conjecture. The Borsuk number of a given bounded metric space $X$ is the infimum of cardinal numbers $n$ such that $X$ can be…

In this paper we investigate three unsolved conjectures in geometric combinatorics, namely Falconer's distance set conjecture, the dimension of Furstenburg sets, and Erdos's ring conjecture. We formulate natural $\delta$-discretized…

In 2013 Andriy V. Bondarenko showed how to construct a two-distance counterexample to Borsuk's conjecture from any strongly regular graph whose vertex set is not the union of at most $f+1$ cliques (sets of pairwise adjacent vertices) where…

Classical Borsuk problem asks about the minimal number of closed subsets of smaller diameter necessary to partition every compact in the Euclidean space. Topological version of the Borsuk problem is discussed.

A subset $S$ of $\mathbb R^d$ has the Borsuk property if it can be decomposed into at most $d+1$ parts of diameter smaller than $S$. This is an important geometric property, inspired by a conjecture of Borsuk from the 1930s, which has…

Kurepa's conjecture states that there is no odd prime $p$ that divides $!p=0!+1!+\cdots+(p-1)!$. We search for a counterexample to this conjecture for all $p<2^{34}$. We introduce new optimization techniques and perform the computation…

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…

We show that the Dual Borel Conjecture implies that ${\mathfrak d}> \aleph_1$ and find some topological characterizations of perfectly meager and universally meager sets.

A set $A$ is MSTD (more-sum-than-difference) if $|A+A|>|A-A|$. Though MSTD sets are rare, Martin and O'Bryant proved that there exists a positive constant lower bound for the proportion of MSTD subsets of $\{1,2,\ldots ,r\}$ as…

In this paper we affirm Br\"{u}ck conjecture provided $f$ is of hyper-order less than one by studying the infinite hyper-order of solutions of a complex differential equation.

In 1993, Kahn and Kalai famously constructed a sequence of finite sets in $d$-dimensional Euclidean spaces that cannot be partitioned into less than $(1.203\ldots+o(1))^{\sqrt{d}}$ parts of smaller diameter. Their method works not only for…

Let us say that an element of a given family $\A$ of subsets of $\R^d$ can be reconstructed using $n$ test sets if there exist $T_1,...,T_n \subset \R^d$ such that whenever $A,B\in \A$ and the Lebesgue measures of $A \cap T_i$ and $B \cap…

Let $f_1,\dots,f_k\in\mathbb{R}[X]$ be polynomials of degree at most $d$ with $f_1(0)=\dots=f_k(0)=0$. We show that there is an integer $n<x$ such that the fractional parts $\|f_i(n)\|\ll x^{c/k}$ for all $1\le i\le k$ and for some constant…

The Kneser-Poulsen conjecture says that if a finite collection of balls in a d-dimensional Euclidean space is rearranged so that the distance between each pair of centers does not get smaller, then the volume of the union of these balls…

Reed conjectured that for every $\varepsilon>0$ and every integer $\Delta$, there exists $g$ such that the fractional total chromatic number of every graph with maximum degree $\Delta$ and girth at least $g$ is at most…
