Borsuk’s conjecture in geometry
E1235032
UNEXPLORED
Borsuk’s conjecture in geometry is a famous (now disproven in higher dimensions) problem in metric geometry that proposed any bounded set in n-dimensional Euclidean space can be partitioned into n+1 subsets of smaller diameter.

How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T16824721 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
Carathéodory’s theorem in convex geometry
Carathéodory’s theorem in convex geometry is a fundamental result stating that any point in the convex hull of a set in ℝⁿ can be expressed as a convex combination of at most n+1 points from that set.
-
B.
Helly’s theorem
Helly’s theorem is a fundamental result in convex geometry that gives conditions under which a family of convex sets in Euclidean space has a nonempty common intersection.
-
C.
Mazur’s theorem on convex sets
Mazur’s theorem on convex sets is a fundamental result in functional analysis that characterizes the structure and approximation properties of convex sets in Banach spaces, particularly via convex combinations of sequences.
-
D.
Minkowski’s theorem on convex sets
Minkowski’s theorem on convex sets is a fundamental result in convex geometry that characterizes lattice points in convex bodies, underpinning much of the theory of convex polytopes and the geometry of numbers.
-
E.
Hilbert's third problem
Hilbert's third problem is one of David Hilbert’s famous list of 23 problems, asking whether every polyhedron of a given volume is equidecomposable with any other of the same volume, a question that led to the development of the Dehn invariant and the discovery of counterexamples.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
