Symmetric Powers of Matroids

Bill Jackson, Shin-ichi Tanigawa

The study of matroid products has become an active area of research, owing to their connections with tropical ideals and linear representability. In this paper, we study matroidal…

Volume Rigidity of Simplicial Manifolds

James Cruickshank, Bill Jackson, Shin-ichi Tanigawa

Classical results of Cauchy and Dehn imply that the 1-skeleton of a convex simplicial polyhedron $P$ is rigid i.e. every continuous motion of the vertices of $P$ in $R^{3}$ w…

Sufficient conditions for bipartite rigidity, symmetric completability and hyperconnectivity of graphs

DÃ¡niel GaramvÃ¶lgyi, Bill Jackson, Tibor JordÃ¡n +1

We consider three matroids defined by Kalai in 1985: the symmetric completion matroid $S_{d}$ on the edge set of a looped complete graph; the hyperconnectivity matroid $\ma…

Sparsity, Stress-Independence and Globally Linked Pairs in Graph Rigidity Theory

DÃ¡niel GaramvÃ¶lgyi, Bill Jackson, Tibor JordÃ¡n

A graph is $R_{d}$ -independent (resp. $R_{d}$ -connected) if its $d$ -dimensional generic rigidity matroid is free (resp. connected). A result of Maxwell from 1867 im…

Rigidity of Graphs and Frameworks: A Matroid Theoretic Approach

James Cruickshank, Bill Jackson, Tibor JordÃ¡n +1

A $d$ -dimensional (bar-and-joint) framework $(G, p)$ consists of a graph $G = (V, E)$ and a realisation $p : V \to R^{d}$ . It is rigid if every continuous motion of the vertices wh…

Symmetric Tensor Matroids, Dual Rigidity Matroids, and the Maximality Conjecture

Bill Jackson, Shin-ichi Tanigawa

Inspired by a recent result of Brakensiek et al. that symmetric tensor matroids and rigidity matroids are linked by matroid duality, we define abstract symmetric tensor matroids as…
