Abstract

For every smooth Jordan curve γ\gamma and cyclic quadrilateral QQ in the Euclidean plane, we show that there exists an orientation-preserving similarity taking the vertices of QQ to γ\gamma. The proof relies on the theorem of Polterovich and Viterbo that an embedded Lagrangian torus in C2\mathbb{C}^2 has minimum Maslov number 2.
