Sufficiency conjecture for reflection-symmetric frameworks in quadrilateral normed planes

Let P\|\cdot\|_{\mathcal{P}} be a polyhedral norm on R2\mathbb{R}^2 whose unit ball P\mathcal{P} is a quadrilateral. Let GG be a finite simple graph, let θ:CsAut(G)\theta:{\mathcal{C}}_s\to\operatorname{Aut}(G) be an action, and let τ:CsGL(R2)\tau:{\mathcal{C}}_s\to\operatorname{GL}(\mathbb{R}^2) be a faithful representation such that ss swaps the facets of P\mathcal{P}. Reflection-symmetry sufficiency conjecture. The conditions in Proposition~ are sufficient for the existence of a well-positioned isostatic framework (G,p)(G,p) in (R2,P)(\mathbb{R}^2,\|\cdot\|_{\mathcal{P}}) that is Cs{\mathcal{C}}_s-symmetric with respect to θ\theta and τ\tau. The conjecture was proposed because proving it would require symmetry-adapted Henneberg-type operations on (2,2)(2,2)-tight graphs with a Z2\mathbb{Z}_2-action and geometric placement arguments preserving isostaticity; its resolution is not supplied here.
