Ross's sub-lattice conjecture for periodic framework rigidity
Ross's sub-lattice conjecture for periodic framework rigidity
Let be an infinitesimally rigid periodic framework with periodic graph . Let be any sub-lattice, and define to be the periodic graph obtained by replacing the -action with the induced -action . Ross's conjecture. Then is an infinitesimally rigid realization of the induced abstract periodic framework on . Informally, this says that a generic rigid periodic framework remains rigid when the periodicity constraint is relaxed to a sub-lattice, enlarging the class of allowed motions. The conjecture concerns whether infinitesimal rigidity is preserved under passage from the original lattice to any sub-lattice; its resolution is not given here.
