A new topological Helly theorem and some transversal results

Publication:464742
Abstract: We prove that for a topological space X with the property that for and every open subset of , a finite family of open sets in has nonempty intersection if for any subfamily of size , , the -dimensional homology group of its intersection is zero. We use this theorem to prove new results concerning transversal affine planes to families of convex sets.
A topological Helly-type theorem is proved, in the framework provided by a topological space \(X\), in which \(H_{k}(U)=0\), \(k\geq d\), for every \(U\subset X\) open and any subfamily of size \(j\) of the given sets has a zero \((d-j)\)-dimensional homology group of its intersection. As consequence, transversal theorems for families of convex sets are derived in three cases: transversal lines in the plane, transversal lines in three dimensions space and transversal hyperplanes in \(d\) dimensions space.
