The rigidity conjecture for multiassociahedra along the moment curve

About 4 years old · traced to

Let PP be a convex nn-gon, and let kk-triangulations be its maximal sets of diagonals containing no k+1k+1 mutually crossing diagonals. Place nn generic points on the moment curve {(t,t2,…,t2k)∈R2k:t∈R}\{(t,t^2,\dots,t^{2k})\in\mathbb{R}^{2k}:t\in\mathbb{R}\}. The associated bar-and-joint rigidity matroid is the matroid represented by the rows of the rigidity matrix of these points. The rigidity conjecture. Every kk-triangulation of the nn-gon is isostatic, that is, a basis of this bar-and-joint rigidity matroid. The conjecture would imply the corresponding statement for generic points, as well as for the generic cofactor-rigidity and hyperconnectivity matroids; the hyperconnectivity case is known, and the case k=2k=2 is proved for generic positions along the moment curve. The conjecture remains open in general.
