Abstract

Borsuk's conjecture states that any bounded set in Rn can be partitioned into n+1 sets of smaller diameter. It is known to be false for all n bigger or equal to 323. Here we show that Borsuk's conjecture fails in dimensions 321 and 322. (This result has been independently discovered by Hinrichs and Richter.)
