Solution to Generalized Borsuk Problem in Terms of the Gromov-Hausdorff Distances to Simplexes
read the original abstract
In the present paper the following Generalized Borsuk Problem is studied: Can a given bounded metric space $X$ be partitioned into a given number $m$ (probably an infinite one) of subsets, each of which has a smaller diameter than $X$? We give a complete answer to this question in terms of the Gromov-Hausdorff distance from $X$ to a simplex of cardinality $m$ and having a diameter less than $X$. Here a simplex is a metric space, all whose non-zero distances are the same.

The Gromov--Hausdorff Distance between Simplexes and Two-Distance Spaces
Exact Gromov-Hausdorff distances are derived between arbitrary simplexes and 2-distance spaces, yielding a complete solution to the generalized Borsuk problem and expressions for graph clique cover and chromatic numbers.
