Worldwide Lecture Seminar Series: Pablo Soberón REGISTER Description The Worldwide Lecture Seminar Series Presents Pablo Soberón - Northeastern University Friday, March 16, 2017 Coffee, tea, cookies: 3:30pm Talk: 4-5pm Worldwide Center of Mathematics -- Cambridge, MA, USA Abstract: During this talk we will discuss some robust variations of Tverberg’s theorem. The aim is to seek partitions of a finite set of points in R^d such that the convex hulls of the parts intersect, even if our set of points is going to be modified later on. Surprisingly, random partitions give sharp results. These are variations of Tverberg’s theorem which behave like weak epsilon-nets for convex sets.
