Abstract

We study the existence of equilateral polygons in planar integer lattices. Maehara showed that it's sufficient to work with rectangular lattices Λ(m)=L[(1,0),(0,m)]\Lambda(m) = L[(1,0),(0,\sqrt{m})] with m3(mod4)m \equiv 3 \pmod{4}. Building on results of Maehara and of Iino and Sakiyama, we show that for every such mm there exists NN such that for all nNn \geq N, the lattice Λ(m)\Lambda(m) contains an equilateral nn-gon. This extends previous classifications of equilateral polygons in planar lattices.
