Description
In the land of classical rigidity theory constraint systems where distances between objects are given play the major role. This land of bar-and-joint rigidity consists of the quite well known flat land and goes up the hills to redundant and global rigidity. There are cities of simple architecture given by 0-extensions only and cities with 1-extension buildings. Recently researchers have departed from this land to discover the neighboring countries. Most of which have only partially been investigated. There is a country full of symmetric patterns, a region where objects may slide along on lines and areas where things might change, but only in a coordinated way. Still, there are plenty of white spots on the map of rigidity. This workshop shall gather explorers from all around the world of rigidity to uncover the map.
