Slicing a Cube in N Dimensions

by Mr. Girish Varma (School of Technology and Computer Science)

Tuesday, March 29, 2011 from to (Asia/Kolkata)
at Colaba Campus ( A-212 )
Description
We will consider the problem of cutting the maximum number of edges of a cube (commonly known as hypercube in n-dimensions) using a plane (hyperplane in n-dimensions). We will see an explicit plane which gives the maximum cut. Also, we will use a combinatorial lemma (a generalization of Sperner's Lemma) to prove this theorem about geometry.
