Neighborhood Variants of the KKM Lemma, Lebesgue Covering Theorem, and Sperner's Lemma on the Cube

We establish a "neighborhood" variant of the cubical KKM lemma and the Lebesgue covering theorem and deduce a discretized version which is a "neighborhood" variant of Sperner's lemma on the cube. The main result is the following: for any coloring of the unit $d$-cube $[0,1]^d$ in which points on opposite faces must be given different colors, and for any $\varepsilon>0$, there is an $\ell_\infty$ $\varepsilon$-ball which contains points of at least $(1+\frac{\varepsilon}{1+\varepsilon})^d$ different colors, (so in particular, at least $(1+\frac{2}{3}\varepsilon)^d$ different colors for all sensible $\varepsilon\in(0,\frac12]$).Comment: 18 pages plus appendices (30 pages total), 3 figure
