Helly-type theorem for eigenvectors
  We prove that if any $\lfloor3d/2 \rfloor$ or fewer elements of a finite family of linear operators $\mathbb K^d\to \mathbb K^d$ ($\mathbb K$ is an arbitrary field) have a common eigenvector then all operators in the family have a common eigenvector. Moreover, $\lfloor 3d/2\rfloor$ cannot be replaced by a smaller number. Also, we study the following problem, achieving partial results: prove that if any $l=O(d)$ or fewer elements of a finite family of linear operators $\mathbb K^d\to \mathbb K^d$ have a common non-trivial invariant subspace then all operators in the family have a common non-trivial invariant subspace.
