[#R1154] Current status and unresolved remainder
claim. The cited scholarly paper states that the problem is open for general embedded plane curves. The source and public status were checked on 2026-07-31. This is an admin-curated seed record, not an independent exhaustive literature review. Prove that every Jordan curve contains four distinct vertices of a square, or construct a Jordan curve and prove that it contains no such square.
1Summary
The cited scholarly paper states that the problem is open for general embedded plane curves. The source and public status were checked on 2026-07-31. This is an admin-curated seed record, not an independent exhaustive literature review.
A complete resolution must satisfy this condition: Prove that every Jordan curve contains four distinct vertices of a square, or construct a Jordan curve and prove that it contains no such square.
Supported evidence. Replay readiness: source only.
