Much research in Geometric Transversal Theory focuses on sufficient conditions for the existence of line transversal to a family of convex sets in \(\mathbb{R}^n\). The goal of the authors of the paper under review is to obtain Helly type theorems concerning existence of transversal lines to families of lines and intervals in the \(n\)th dimensional space (\(n>2\)). They prove that a family of lines in \(\mathbb{RP}^n\) has a transversal line if any six of them have a transversal line. The same holds when any five of them have a transversal line, provided that the family of lines is in general position (that is, no two of them intersect) and there are at least seven of them. Finally the authors establish that a finite family of intervals in \(\mathbb{R}^n\) has a transversal line if and only if any six of them have a transversal line compatible with a given linear order. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1034.52002].
