Can one find a colored simple closed curve in a colored plane?

44 Views Asked by At

Suppose we have an infinite plane, each point colored in either red or blue. Can one find a simple closed curve whose points have the same color?

If so, can we generalize this result into $n$-colored plane? If not, what coloring would give us a counterexample?

Colour point $(x,y)$ red if $x$ is rational, blue otherwise. A monochromatic curve would have to be contained in a vertical line, and couldn't be a simple closed curve.
