The periodic square peg problem
The periodic square peg problem
Let , and let be the cylinder obtained from by identifying points differing by . Let be the standard closed curve . Let be simple curves homologous to , with disjoint images.
Periodic square peg conjecture. The union inscribes a square.
This is a periodic variant of Toeplitz's problem designed to avoid the issue of arbitrarily small squares. It is presented as an open problem in the paper.
