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
