Borsuk's partition problem in four-dimensional \ell_{p} space

Abstract: In 1933, Borsuk made a conjecture that every

n

-dimensional bounded set can be divided into

n + 1

subsets of smaller diameter. Up to now, the problem is still open for

4 l e q n l e q 63

. In this paper, we firstly discuss the Banach-Mazur distance between the

n

-dimensional cube and the

e l l_{p}

ball

(1 l e q p < 2)

, then we study the generalized Borsuk's partition problem in metric spaces and prove that all bounded sets

X

in every four-dimensional

e l l_{p}

space can be divided into

2^{4}

subsets of smaller diameter.
