The ham sandwich theorem revisited

Abstract

This paper continues the search, started in [10], for relatives of the ham sandwich theorem. We prove among other results, the following implications {fx21-1} whereK(n, k) is an important instance of the Knaster’s conjecture so thatK(n, n − 1) reduces to the Borsuk-Ulam theorem,B(n, k) is a R. Rado type statement about (k + 1) measures inRn whereB(n, n − 1) turns out to be the ham sandwich theorem andC(n, k) is a topological statement, established in this paper in the caseC(n, n − 2),n = 3 orn ≥ 5.
