A Mélange of Diameter Helly-Type Theorems

A Helly-type theorem for diameter provides a bound on the diameter of the intersection of a finite family of convex sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$ given some information on the diameter of the intersection of all sufficiently small subfamilies. We prove fractional and colorful versions of a longstanding conjecture by Barany, Katchalski, and Pach. We also show that a Minkowski norm admits an exact Helly-type theorem for diameter if and only if its unit ball is a polytope and prove a colorful version for those that do. Finally, we prove Helly-type theorems for the property of ``containing $k$ colinear integer points.
