Finite rigid subgraphs of the pants graphs of punctured spheres

Abstract: We prove a strong form of finite rigidity for pants graphs of spheres. Specifically, for any

n g e q 4

, we construct a finite subgraph

X_{n}

of the pants graph

P (S_{0, n})

of the n-punctured sphere

S_{0, n}

with the following property. Any simplicial embedding of

X_{n}

into any pants graph

P (S_{0, m})

of a punctured sphere is induced by an embedding

S_{0, n} o S_{0, m}

.
