Squaring the circle: embedding $S^1$ in $\ell_1$
Let $(S^1,\delta)$ be the unit circle endowed with the arc length metric. This paper concerns the question of which subsets of $(S^1,\delta)$ can be embedded isometrically into the sequence space $\ell_1$. It is well known that every finite subset of $S^1$ admits such an embedding, but the situation for infinite subset...
