How many sprays cover the space?

Abstract

For all $d \geq 3$ we show that the cardinality of $ \mathbb{R} $ is at most $\aleph_n $ if and only if $ \mathbb{R}^d $ can be covered with $ ( n + 1 ) ( d - 1 ) + 1 $ sprays whose centers are in general position in a hyperplane. This extends previous results by Schmerl when $ d = 2 $.
