Finiteness conjecture for symmetric abstract 2-rigidity matroids
Finiteness conjecture for symmetric abstract 2-rigidity matroids
Let be a positive integer, let denote the -rigidity matroid on the edge set of the complete graph on , and let be the complete bipartite graph with parts of size three. A matroid on this edge set is symmetric if it is invariant under relabelling the vertices, and it is an abstract -rigidity matroid if it has the relevant -rigidity rank properties.
Finiteness conjecture. There are only finitely many values of for which there exists a symmetric abstract -rigidity matroid in which is independent.
The conjecture asks whether the exceptional distinction between symmetric -rigidity matroids and the standard -rigidity matroid can occur for arbitrarily large numbers of vertices. The paper gives an example at and reports no further examples at , but does not resolve the question in general.
