Sufficient conditions for generic global rigidity on the cylinder and cone

About 13 years old · traced to

Let (G,p)(G,p) be a generic framework on M{\mathcal{M}}, where M∈{Y,C}{\mathcal{M}}\in\{{\mathcal{Y}},{\mathcal{C}}\}. A framework is globally rigid on M{\mathcal{M}} when every framework on M{\mathcal{M}} equivalent to (G,p)(G,p) is congruent to it. Global rigidity conjecture for the cylinder and cone. The framework (G,p)(G,p) is globally rigid on M{\mathcal{M}} if and only if either GG is a complete graph on at most four vertices, or GG is 22-connected and (G,p)(G,p) is redundantly rigid. The corresponding conditions are known to be sufficient for generic global rigidity in the plane and on the sphere; the conjecture asserts sufficiency in the cylinder and cone cases as well.
