Generic and symmetry-forced isostaticity on the cylinder

Let Y\mathcal{Y} denote the cylinder. Let SS be either the group Cs\mathcal{C}_s or the group Ci\mathcal{C}_i, and let (G,p)(G,p) be an SS-generic framework on Y\mathcal{Y}. The cylinder generic-equivalence conjecture. The framework (G,p)(G,p) is isostatic if and only if it is SS-isostatic. The source motivates this by noting that the two representation blocks for these groups require the same (2,2,1)(2,2,1)-gain-sparsity count; the proposed equivalence remains conjectural.
