Abstract: First, we prove a special case of Knaster's problem, implying that each symmetric convex body in R 3 admits an inscribed cube. We deduce it from a theorem in equivariant topology, which says that there is no S 4 -equivariant map from SO(3) to S 2 , where S 4 acts on SO(3) as the rotation group of the cube and on S 2 as the symmetry group of the regular tetrahedron. We also give some generalizations. Second, we show how the above non-existence theorem yields Makeev's conjecture in R ... (Update)
