Tverberg's theorem asserts that every (k-1)(d+1)+1 points in R^d can be partitioned into k parts, so that the convex hulls of the parts have a common intersection. Calder and Eckhoff asked whether there is a purely combinatorial deduction of Tverberg's theorem from the special case k=2. We dash the hopes of a purely combinatorial deduction, but show that the case k=2 does imply that every set of O(k^2 log^2 k) points admits a Tverberg partition into k parts.

  1. Strong invariants and Tverberg numbers in convexity spaces

    math.CO 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    In convexity spaces, VC-dimension, strong Helly, strong Carathéodory, comatching, and strong Radon numbers coincide; for S3-separable spaces the Tverberg number satisfies r_t = O(r^2 log r) t.
