The quadripartite periodic square peg problem
Let , and let be the cylinder obtained from by identifying points differing by . Let be the standard closed curve . For four subsets of the cylinder, say that they jointly inscribe a square if their Cartesian product intersects the closure of the space of squares in ; equivalently, there are and such that the four points , , , and lie in the four sets in order. Let be simple closed curves homologous to .
Quadripartite periodic square peg conjecture. The quadruplet
jointly inscribes a square.
This claim would imply the periodic square peg problem and allows degenerate inscribed squares through the closure formulation. It is presented as an open conjecture.
