Abstract

In [8] Hendrickson proved that $(d+1)$-connectivity and redundant rigidity are necessary conditions for a generic (non-complete) bar-joint framework to be globally rigid in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Jackson and Jord\'{a}n [9] confirmed that these conditions are also sufficient in $\mathbb{R}^2$, giving a combinatorial characterization of graphs whose generic realizations in $\mathbb{R}^d$ are globally rigid. In this paper, we establish analogues of these results for infinite periodic frameworks under fixed lattice representations. Our combinatorial characterization of globally rigid generic periodic frameworks in $\mathbb{R}^2$ in particular implies toroidal and cylindrical counterparts of the theorem by Jackson and Jord\'{a}n.
