The infinitesimal rigidity conjecture for centrally symmetric homology spheres
The infinitesimal rigidity conjecture for centrally symmetric homology spheres
Let be a centrally symmetric simplicial complex of dimension . Assume that is a homology sphere, a connected homology manifold, or a normal pseudomanifold. Then there exists a map such that is a centrally symmetric framework that is infinitesimally rigid in . The infinitesimal rigidity conjecture. Such a realization should exist for every complex in the stated classes. This conjecture would imply the inequality part of the cs lower bound conjecture, but the source notes that links of centrally symmetric complexes are generally not centrally symmetric, obstructing standard inductive arguments.
