Configurations of axis-parallel boxes in $R^d$ are extensively studied in combinatorial geometry. Despite their innocent appearance, there are many old problems involving their structure that are still not well understood. I will talk about a construction, which shows that starting from dimension $d \geq 3$, configurations of boxes are more complicated than people conjectured.

I am an Associate Professor at Umeå University in Sweden. I love combinatorics problems which have some spice to them, especially the ones with some flavor of geometry or linear algebra.
