| Title: | The discrete square peg problem |

| Abstract: |
|---|
| The square peg problem asks whether every Jordan curve in the plane has four points which form a square. The problem has been resolved (positively) for various classes of curves, but remains open in full
generality. I will survey various known results and outline two direct proofs for the case of piecewise linear curves. |
