Symmetric infinitesimal rigidity conjecture for centrally symmetric complexes
Symmetric infinitesimal rigidity conjecture for centrally symmetric complexes
Let be a -dimensional centrally symmetric simplicial complex with an involution , and let be its graph. A -embedding is a map whose vertex positions give a -dimensional framework; it respects symmetry when
for every vertex . The framework is infinitesimally rigid when it has no nontrivial first-order edge-length-preserving deformations beyond Euclidean motions.
Symmetric infinitesimal rigidity conjecture. If is a simplicial sphere, a connected simplicial manifold, or a normal pseudomanifold and , then there exists a symmetry-respecting -embedding for which is infinitesimally rigid.
If true, this would imply the inequality part of the centrally symmetric lower bound conjecture. The survey presents it as an open conjecture.
