The arbitrary-position rigidity conjecture for 2-triangulations

Let PP be a convex nn-gon, and place nn distinct points on the moment curve in R4\mathbb{R}^{4}. The associated bar-and-joint rigidity matroid is represented by the rigidity matrix of these points. The arbitrary-position rigidity conjecture. Every 22-triangulation of the nn-gon is isostatic, that is, a basis of this bar-and-joint rigidity matroid, for arbitrary distinct points on the moment curve. The paper proves the corresponding assertion for generic positions along the moment curve, which motivates this stronger conjecture; its status beyond that theorem is open.
