A bar-and-joint framework is a finite set of points together with specified distances between selected pairs. In rigidity theory we seek to understand when the remaining pairwise distances are also fixed. If there exists a pair of points…
We derive a new bound on the dimension of images of period maps of global pure polarized integral variations of Hodge structures with generic Hodge datum of level at least 3. When the generic Mumford-Tate domain of the variation is a period…
This paper extends graphic statics by describing the forces and moments in any 3D rigid-jointed frame structure in terms of cell complexes using homology theory of algebraic topology. Graphic statics provides a highly geometric way to…
We prove several results about matroids and matroidal families associated with rigidity in dimension $2$. In particular, we establish new properties of the generic rigidity matroid family $\mathcal{R}$ and Kalai's hyperconnectivity matroid…
In this article we investigate the gauge invariance and duality properties of DFT based on a metric algebroid formulation given previously in [1]. The derivation of the general action given in this paper does not employ the section…
Homogeneous matroids are characterized by the property that strength equals fractional arboricity, and arise in the study of base modulus [22]. For graphic matroids, Cunningham [9] provided efficient algorithms for calculating graph…
In this article, we investigate the multi-parametric matroid problem. The weights of the elements of the matroid's ground set depend linearly on an arbitrary but fixed number of parameters, each of which is taken from a real interval. The…
This paper studies linear generalised complex structures over vector bundles, as a generalised geometry version of holomorphic vector bundles. In an adapted linear splitting, a linear generalised complex structure on a vector bundle $E\to…
We define the notion of Y-algebroids, generalising the Lie, Courant, and exceptional algebroids that have been used to capture the local symmetry structure of type II string theory and M-theory compactifications to $D \geq 5$ dimensions.…
In this paper we employ Tutte's theory of bridges to derive a decomposition theorem for binary matroids arising from signed graphs. The proposed decomposition differs from previous decomposition results on matroids that have appeared in the…

In this paper, we define the notion of rigidity for linear electrical multiports and for matroid pairs. We show the parallel between the two and study the consequences of this parallel. We present applications to testing, using purely…
The classical Liouville Theorem on conformal transformations determines local conformal transformations on the Euclidean space of dimension $\geq 3$. Its natural adaptation to the general framework of Riemannian structures is the 2-rigidity…
A (bar-and-joint) framework is a set of points in a normed space with a set of fixed distance constraints between them. Determining whether a framework is locally rigid - i.e. whether every other suitably close framework with the same…
We characterize the shifted simple graphs and the $3$-uniform shifted hypergraphs whose inverse image under exterior shifting is the set of bases of a matroid: those are exactly the hypergraphs whose hyperedges form an initial lex-segment.…
The minimal infinitesimal rigidity of bar-joint frameworks in the non-Euclidean spaces (R^2, ||.||_q) are characterised in terms of (2,2)-tight graphs. Specifically, a generically placed bar-joint framework (G,p) in the plane is minimally…
A matroid is a combinatorial structure that captures and generalizes the algebraic concept of linear independence under a broader and more abstract framework. Matroids are closely related with many other topics in discrete mathematics, such…
We present a global construction of a so-called D-bracket appearing in the physics literature of Double Field Theory (DFT) and show that if certain integrability criteria are satisfied, it can be seen as a sum of two Courant algebroid…
We study a generalized boundary rigidity problem, which investigates whether the areas of embedded minimal surfaces can uniquely determine a Riemannian manifold with boundary. We prove that for a conformal perturbation of an analytic metric…
We present a general approach to the bifurcation analysis of elastic frameworks with symmetry. While group-theoretic methods for bifurcation problems with symmetry are well known, their actual implementation in the context of elastic…
