Abstract: We will discuss problems of finding quadrilaterals inscribed on planar curves, such as the inscribed square problem, the inscribed rectangle problem, and the periodic square peg problem. We will examine the effectiveness and limitations of various techniques, from intersection theory to Lagrangian Floer homology.
