1 Sperner’s Lemma

Definition 1.1
#

Given a simplicial complex \(S\), and a a coloring \(f\) on it, we say that \(f\) is a Sperner coloring of \(S\) if \(f(x) \neq i\) if \(x\) belongs to the \(i\)-th face (that with zero \(i\)-th coordinate).

Lemma 1.2
#

A simplicial complex with a Sperner coloring on it, contains a panchromatic simplex.
