We review some recent results in the generic rigidity theory of planar frameworks with forced symmetry, giving a uniform treatment to the topic. We also give new combinatorial characterizations of minimally rigid periodic frameworks with…

A new technique for proving fixed point theorems for families of holomorphic transformations of operator balls is developed. One of these theorems is used to show that a bounded representation in a real or complex Hilbert space is…

We study the spaces of twisted conformal blocks attached to a $\Gamma$-curve $\Sigma$ with marked $\Gamma$-orbits and an action of $\Gamma$ on a simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$, where $\Gamma$ is a finite group. We prove that if $\Gamma$…

We prove a rigidity theorem for morphisms from products of open subschemes of the projective line into solvable groups not containing a copy of $\Ga$ (for example, wound unipotent groups). As a consequence, we deduce several structural…

A framework is a graph and a map from its vertices to E^d (for some d). A framework is universally rigid if any framework in any dimension with the same graph and edge lengths is a Euclidean image of it. We show that a generic universally…

Let $G$ be a graph with $n$ vertices, and $d$ be a target dimension. In this paper we study the set of rank $n-d-1$ matrices that are equilibrium stress matrices for at least one (unspecified) $d$-dimensional framework of $G$ in general…

We provide a proof that entanglement of any density matrix which block diagonal in subspaces which are disjoint in terms of the Hilbert space of one of the two potentially entangled subsystems can simply be calculated as the weighted…

This work focuses on the bearing rigidity theory, namely the branch of knowledge investigating the structural properties necessary for multi-element systems to preserve the inter-units bearings when exposed to deformations. The original…

We show that any graph that is generically globally rigid in $\mathbb{R}^d$ has a realization in $\mathbb{R}^d$ that is both generic and universally rigid. This also implies that the graph also must have a realization in $\mathbb{R}^d$ that…

A result due in its various parts to Hendrickson, Connelly, and Jackson and Jord\'an, provides a purely combinatorial characterisation of global rigidity for generic bar-joint frameworks in $\mathbb{R}^2$. The analogous conditions are known…

Let $M$ be a symmetric matrix over $\mathbb F_2$, and let $\diag(M)$ be its diagonal vector. It is known that \[ \diag(M)\in \Img(M). \] Thus the affine system $Mx=\diag(M)$ is always solvable. We strengthen this existence statement to a…

We prove a result concerning formality of the pull-back of a fibration. Our approach is to use bar complexes in the category of commutative differential graded algebras. As an application, we generalize an old result of Baum and Smith.

It is well-known that the property of a bar-and-joint framework `to be infinitesimally rigid' is invariant under projective transformations of Eucliean $d$-space for every $d\geqslant 2$. It is less known that the property of a…
