The problem
Claim: every Jordan curve in \(\mathbb{R}^2\) contains four points that are the vertices of a square.
The Inscribed Square Problem (Toeplitz)
openHistory & significance
Toeplitz asked in 1911. True for piecewise-analytic curves (Emch), Lipschitz and star-shaped curves, curves of bounded variation… yet no proof covers even all smooth curves. Schnirelmann's 1929 claimed proof had a gap repaired only for a subclass. The square peg resists precisely because it demands finite combinatorial structure from arbitrary topology.
Still open.
