The stabilized inscribed-square conjecture for immersed plane curves
The stabilized inscribed-square conjecture for immersed plane curves
Let be an immersed curve in the plane, and let , , and denote its associated invariants. An inscribed square of a curve is a square whose vertices lie on the curve. Inscribed-square conjecture. There is a positive integer such that, for every , there is an immersed curve with the same values of , , and as , such that has exactly inscribed squares. Moreover, there is an integer , independent of , such that all but of the inscribed squares of have their vertices appearing in the same order as on . The conjecture proposes that the number of inscribed squares can be made arbitrarily large while preserving these invariants, with all but uniformly boundedly many squares respecting the curve's cyclic order.
