The minimally rigidity-connected stress-independence conjecture

About 1 year old · traced to

Let GG be a minimally Rd\mathcal{R}_d-connected graph, meaning that GG is Rd\mathcal{R}_d-connected and deleting any edge destroys Rd\mathcal{R}_d-connectedness.

Minimally Rd\mathcal{R}_d-connected stress-independence conjecture. Every minimally Rd\mathcal{R}_d-connected graph is dd-stress-independent.

The statement is known in dimension d=2d=2 from the preceding discussion, and the conjecture asks whether it extends to all dimensions.
