title = "Convex equipartitions: The spicy chicken theorem",
abstract = "We show that, for any prime power n and any convex body K (i.e., a compact convex set with interior) in Rd, there exists a partition of into n convex sets with equal volumes and equal surface areas. Similar results regarding equipartitions with respect to continuous functionals and absolutely continuous measures on convex bodies are also proven. These include a generalization of the ham-sandwich theorem to arbitrary number of convex pieces confirming a conjecture of Kaneko and Kano, a similar generalization of perfect partitions of a cake and its icing, and a generalization of the Gromov-Borsuk-Ulam theorem for convex sets in the model spaces of constant curvature.",
