A characterization of convexity

While doing some research on polytopes I came to the following question. Maybe it's already somewhere but anyway I'll post it here. Let $X\subset \mathbb{R}^3$ be such that, for every plane $P$, $P\...

Are faces of a compact, convex body "opposed" iff their extreme points are pairwise "opposed"?

Let $P$ be a compact, convex subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$ (infinite-dimensional generalisations welcome, but not necessary). Let's say that disjoint subsets $W_1$, $W_2$ $\subset P$ are opposed if there ...

Generalization of Radon's theorem

A Cat(0) metric space $(X,d)$ of constant and finite local dimension is approximately flat if there exists a dense subset $U\subset X$ such that every $x\in U$ has a flat neighborhood (i.e. isometric ...

Tverberg's theorem in CAT(0) spaces

Does Tverberg's theorem hold for CAT(0) spaces of covering dimension $d<\infty$: Is it true that for any $d$-dimensional $CAT(0)$-space $X$ and a subset $E\subset X$ of cardinality $(d + 1)(r - ...
