Gr\\\"unbaum: How many affine diameters of a convex body in $\\mathbb R^n$ must have a common point? How many centers (in some sense) of hyperplane sections of a convex body in $\\mathbb R^n$ must coincide? One possible approach to such problems is to find topological reasons for multiple coincidences for a continuous map between manifolds of equal dimension. In other words, we need topological estimates for the multiplicity of a map. In this work examples of such estimates and their geometric consequences are presented.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-06-30T10:20:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "52A20", "55M20" ], "keywords": [ "geometric coincidence results", "continuous map", "multiplicity", "convex body", "study geometric coincidence problems" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1106.6176K" } } }
