Gain-tightness characterization for half-turn symmetric frameworks on the cylinder

Let Y\mathcal{Y} denote the cylinder, and let SS be the cyclic group C2\mathcal{C}_2 representing a two-fold rotation about an axis perpendicular to the zz-axis. Let (G,p)(G,p) be an SS-generic realisation on Y\mathcal{Y}, and let (G0,ψ)(G_0,\psi) be its quotient SS-gain graph. The half-turn cylinder conjecture. The framework (G,p)(G,p) is SS-isostatic if and only if (G0,ψ)(G_0,\psi) is (2,2,0)(2,2,0)-gain-tight. This is listed as conjectural in the cylinder summary; it would characterize symmetry-forced rigidity for the perpendicular half-turn symmetry not covered by the established cylinder results.
