Gain-tightness characterization for symmetric frameworks on the cone

Let C\mathcal{C} denote the cone. Let SS be either the group C2\mathcal{C}_2 representing a two-fold rotation about an axis perpendicular to the zz-axis, or the group Cs\mathcal{C}_s whose mirror plane contains the zz-axis. Let (G,p)(G,p) be an SS-generic framework in the symmetric realization space R(G,S,θ)C\mathscr{R}^{\mathcal{C}}_{(G,S,\theta)}, and let (G0,ψ)(G_0,\psi) be its quotient SS-gain graph. The cone gain-tightness conjecture. The framework (G,p)(G,p) is SS-isostatic if and only if (G0,ψ)(G_0,\psi) is (2,1,0)(2,1,0)-gain-tight. The source introduces this as a suggested conjecture for the cone; it concerns the symmetry groups for which the symmetry can force a distinction from generic rigidity.
