一类凸集族的拓扑断面

Topological transversals to a family of convex sets

L. Montejano, R. N. Karasev

摘要:

设$\mathcal F$是$\mathbb R^d$中的紧致凸集族.我们说$\mathcal F $有一个\emph{topological $ρ$-transversal of index $(m,k)$}($ρ<m$,$0<k\leq d-m$),如果在同调上,$\mathcal F$的横截$m$ -平面与包含$\mathbb R^{m+k}$中一个固定$ρ$ -平面的$m$-平面一样多.显然,如果$\mathcal F$有一个$ρ$ -横截平面,则对于$ρ<m$和$k\leq d-m$,$\mathcal F$有一个索引为$(m,k),$的拓扑$ρ$ -横截。一般来说,反过来并不正确。证明了对于$\mathbb R^d$中的$ρ+k+1$紧凸集族$\mathcal F$,指数为$(m,k)$的拓扑$ρ$ -断面蕴涵普通$ρ$ -断面.我们使用这个结果,与舒伯特上循环的乘法公式,格拉斯曼的Lusternik-Schnirelmann范畴,以及Bárány和Lovász的不同版本的彩色Helly定理一起,得到一些几何结果。

英文摘要:

Let $\mathcal F$ be a family of compact convex sets in $\mathbb R^d$. We say that $\mathcal F $ has a \emph{topological $ρ$-transversal of index $(m,k)$} ($ρ<m$, $0<k\leq d-m$) if there are, homologically, as many transversal $m$-planes to $\mathcal F$ as $m$-planes containing a fixed $ρ$-plane in $\mathbb R^{m+k}$. Clearly, if $\mathcal F$ has a $ρ$-transversal plane, then $\mathcal F$ has a topological $ρ$-transversal of index $(m,k),$ for $ρ<m$ and $k\leq d-m$. The converse is not true in general. We prove that for a family $\mathcal F$ of $ρ+k+1$ compact convex sets in $\mathbb R^d$ a topological $ρ$-transversal of index $(m,k)$ implies an ordinary $ρ$-transversal. We use this result, together with the multiplication formulas for Schubert cocycles, the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category of the Grassmannian, and different versions of the colorful Helly theorem by Bárány and Lovász, to obtain some geometric consequences.
