On the square peg problem and its relatives
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: Toeplitz's Square Peg Problem asks whether every continuous simple closed curve in the plane contains the four vertices of a square. It has been proved for various classes of sufficiently smooth curves, some of which are dense, none of which are open. In this paper we prove it for several open classes of curves, one of which is also dense. This can be interpreted in saying that the Square Peg Problem is solved for generic curves. The latter class contains all previously known classes for which the Square Peg Problem has been proved in the affirmative. [footnote] We also prove results about rectangles inscribed in immersed curves. Finally, we show that the problem of finding a regular octahedron on metric 2-spheres has a "topological counter-example", that is, a certain test map with boundary condition exists.
