Arrangements of points, flats, hyperplanes (aspects of discrete geometry) (52C35) Other problems of combinatorial convexity (52A37) Finite groups of transformations in algebraic topology (including Smith theory) (55M35) Obstruction theory in algebraic topology (55S35)

Abstract: We use a well known problem in discrete and computational geometry (partitions of measures by

k

-fans) as a motivation and as a point of departure to illustrate many aspects, both theoretical and computational, of the problem of calculating the obstructions for the existence of equivariant maps. A variety of techniques are introduced and discussed with the emphasis on concrete and explicit calculations. This eventually leads (Theorems 18 and 19) to an almost exhaustive analysis of when such maps do or do not exist in the particular case of interest.
