Rigidity and flexibility of structures (aspects of discrete geometry) (52C25)

Abstract: The main motivation here is a question: whether any polyhedron which can be subdivided into convex pieces without adding a vertex, and which has the same vertices as a convex polyhedron, is infinitesimally rigid. We prove that it is indeed the case for two classes of polyhedra: those obtained from a convex polyhedron by ``denting at most two edges at a common vertex, and suspensions with a natural subdivision.
