The discrete Möbius flattening conjecture for non-contractible polygons
The discrete Möbius flattening conjecture for non-contractible polygons
Let be an embedded non-contractible closed polygon in , and call a vertex configuration a flattening when it has the polygonal analogue of an inflection point. Discrete Möbius conjecture. The polygon has at least flattenings. In the smooth case this is the celebrated Möbius theorem, where flattening means inflection; the discrete statement is proposed as its analogue, and the source calls for a specifically discrete proof.
