Historias de pi: la cuadratura del círculo (à la Tarski)
La cuadratura del círculo con regla y compás, tal y como lo entendían los griegos, tiene otra interesante lectura que ha recibido un sorprendente avance en estos últimos años.
La idea ya no es construir el cuadrado partiendo del círculo de la manera tradicional, sino descomponerlo en trozos para con ellos, agrupados de la manera conveniente, construir un cuadrado.
Este cambio de reglas se debe al matemático polaco Alfred Tarski. Su nombre original era Alfred Teitelbaum. Nacido en Varsovia, en 1901, era de origen judío, de una familia acomodada. Cambió su apellido al convertirse al catolicismo.En 1939 emigró a los Estados Unidos de América, mientras que la mayor parte de su familia que permaneció en Polonia fueron asesinados por los nazis. Tarski es un matemático muy relevante, conocido sobre todo por sus resultados en teoría de conjuntos y lógica matemática, pero también en otras áreas.
Tarski se interesó por el problema de la cuadratura del círculo cambiando las reglas. Este tema de dividir y luego reunir de otra foma no era nuevo para Tarksi. En 1924, él y Stefan Banach demostraron que una bola puede cortarse en un número finito de trozos y volver a ensamblarse en una bola de mayor tamaño o, alternativamente, puede volver a ensamblarse en dos bolas cuyo tamaño sea igual al de la original. Este resultado se llama ahora la paradoja de Banach-Tarski.
Así que en 1925 Alfred Tarski (TARSKI, A. Probléme 38.Fund. Math. 7(1925), 381) reformuló la cuadratura del círculo preguntándose si se podía llevar a cabo la tarea dividiéndolo en un número finito de piezas que se pudieran mover dentro de un plano y volver a ensamblar en un cuadrado de igual área (es decir, que las dos figuras son equidescomponibles). Miklós Laczkovich demostró en 1990 que esto era posible en 1990; y estimó el número de piezas de su descomposición en aproximadamente 1050. Pero su demostración no era constructiva: se podía hacer pero no se sabía como srían las piezas.
Łukasz Grabowski, András Máthé y Oleg Pikhurko, en 2016, consiguieron encontrar una demostración constructiva. Era posible excepto en un conjunto de medida cero (una idea intuitiva de un conjunto de medida cero la puede dar la medida de una colección finita de puntos o de segmentos en una plano). Y en 2017, Andrew Marks y Spencer Unger (2017) dieron una solución completamente constructiva utilizando alrededor de 10200 trozos.
La última vuelta de tuerca en la cuadratura del círculo se debe a los matemáticos Andras Máthé y Oleg Pikhurko, de la Universidad de Warwick, y Jonathan Noel, de la Universidad de Victoria. En un reciente preprint en arxiv han probado el resyultado pero con piezas de formas más sencillas y fáciles de visualizar.
Los autores siguen trabajando y creen que pueden disminuir el número de piezas de forma considerable. Veremos lo que nos deparan los próximos años inmersos en estas sutilezas de la teoría de la medida y la combinatoria.

Muy interesante el comentario de la descomposición para construir el cuadrado.
Desde luego hay mucha magia en las matemáticas.
La paradoja de Banach-Tarski siempre me ha parecido una sorprendente historia.
