Title
Necessary and sufficient conditions for hyperplane transversals
Abstract
We prove that a finite family ℬ={B1,B2, ...,Bn} of connected compact sets in ℝd has a hyperplane transversal if and only if for somek there exists a set of pointsP={p1,p2, ...,pn} (i.e., ak-dimensional labeling of the family) which spans ℝk and everyk+2 sets of ℬ are met by ak-flat consistent with the order type ofP. This is a common generalization of theorems of Hadwiger, Katchalski, Goodman-Pollack and Wenger.
