For which pairs (m,n)(m,n) does there exist an injective function f:R2→R2f:\mathbb{R}^2\to\mathbb{R}^2 under which the image of every regular mm-gon is a regular nn-gon. (Note that m,n≥3m,n\geq 3, and that by a regular NN-gon we mean the union of the boundary segments, not the closed polygonal region.)
