Abstract
We develop a combinatorial rigidity theory for symmetric bar-joint frameworks in a general finite dimensional normed space. In the case of rotational symmetry, matroidal Maxwell-type sparsity counts are identified for a large class of -dimensional normed spaces (including all spaces with ). Complete combinatorial characterisations are obtained for half-turn rotation in the and -plane. As a key tool, a new Henneberg-type inductive construction is developed for the matroidal class of -gain-tight graphs.
