Geometric-stratum conjecture for tensegrity fibers

At least 17 years old · documented by

Let GG be a graph and let kk be a positive integer. The (G,k)(G,k)-stratum is the set of frameworks G(P)G(P) for which the dimension of the fiber W(G,P)W(G,P) is at least kk. Such a stratum is geometric when it is a finite union of sets of conditional solutions of systems of geometric conditions, with the points in the systems corresponding to vertices of GG. Geometric-stratum conjecture. For any graph GG and integer kk, the (G,k)(G,k)-stratum is geometric. The conjecture proposes that every stratum of the tensegrity configuration space has a finite geometric-incidence description; the paper establishes semialgebraicity of these strata but leaves this stronger description open.
