-vector fans and picture categories for 0-Auslander extriangulated categories

Erlend D. Børve, Maximilian Kaipel

We extend the notion of -vector fan so that it is defined for a Hom-finite Krull-Schmidt 0-Auslander -linear extriangulated category with a projective…

A Colorful Extension of VC-dimension and Geometric Applications

Chaya Keller, Shakhar Smorodinsky

The VC-dimension is a fundamental measure of the complexity of a set system. In this paper, we introduce and study a colorful variant of VC-dimension that captures the behavior of…

Extended VC-dimension, and Radon and Tverberg type theorems for unions of convex sets

Noga Alon, Shakhar Smorodinsky

We prove a new Radon type theorem for unions of convex sets, settling an open problem posed by Kalai in the 1970s. We also define and study an extension of the notion of the VC-dim…

New Sufficient Conditions for Linear-Sized Epsilon-Nets and -Theorems

Chaya Keller, Shakhar Smorodinsky

An -net theorem for a hypergraph upper bounds the minimum size of a vertex set that pierces all -heavy hyperedges. A -theorem bounds from above the minimum size of a…

On conflict-free colorings of cyclic polytopes and the girth conjecture for graphs

Seunghun Lee, Shakhar Smorodinsky

We study the conflict-free chromatic number of hypergraphs derived from the family of facets of -dimensional cyclic polytopes with vertices. While in odd dimensions the…

On Zarankiewicz's Problem for Intersection Hypergraphs of Geometric Objects

Timothy M. Chan, Chaya Keller, Shakhar Smorodinsky

The hypergraph Zarankiewicz's problem, introduced by Erdős in 1964, asks for the maximum number of hyperedges in an -partite hypergraph with vertices in each part that does…
