| contents | Two celebrated extensions of the classical Helly's theorem are the fractional Helly theorem and the colorful Helly theorem. Bulavka, Goodarzi, and Tancer recently established the optimal bound for the unified generalization of the fractional and the colorful Helly theorems using a colored extension of the exterior algebra. In this paper, we combinatorially reduce both the fractional Helly theorem and its colorful version to a classical problem in extremal combinatorics known as {weak saturation}. No such results connecting the fractional Helly theorem and weak saturation are known in the long history of literature. These reductions, along with basic linear algebraic arguments for the reduced weak saturation problems, let us give new short proofs of the optimal bounds for both the fractional Helly theorem and its colorful version without using exterior algebra. |
