Optimal bounds for the colored Tverberg problem

Abstract

We prove a "Tverberg type" multiple intersection theorem. It strengthens the prime case of the original Tverberg theorem from 1966, as well as the topological Tverberg theorem of B´ar´any et al. (1980), by adding color constraints. It also provides an improved bound for the (topological) colored Tverberg problem of B´ar´any & Larman (1992) that is tight in the prime case and asymptotically optimal in the general case. The proof is based on relative equivariant obstruction theory
