An asymptotic rigidity property from the realizability of chirotope extensions

May 20, 2025

This paper addresses the oriented affine rigidity of point configurations: if two finite point sets $P$ and $Q$ induce chirotopes with identical realizability across all finite generic extensions, must $P$ and $Q$ be orientation-preserving affinely equivalent? Method: The authors establish a quantitative link between chirotope extension realizability and geometric rigidity, leveraging tools from oriented matroid theory, real algebraic geometry, genericity analysis, and affine approximation. Contribution/Results: They prove that this combinatorial condition precisely characterizes orientation-preserving affine equivalence classes of point configurations. Furthermore, they formulate and prove an $varepsilon$-rigidity theorem: for any $varepsilon > 0$, there exists a finite generic extension $widehat{P}$ such that any configuration $Q$ realizing the chirotope of $widehat{P}$ admits an orientation-preserving affine transformation mapping each point of $Q$ into the $varepsilon$-neighborhood of the corresponding point in $P$. This result provides a robust, quantitative foundation for combinatorial rigidity in affine geometry.
