Rigid sets
The term ``rigid has been given a wide variety of meanings in the literature. In their introduction the authors list four meanings but in the body of the paper consider only the following two: A subset \(A\) of a complete metric space \((E,\rho)\) is rigid if it is compact and the group of isometries (of \(A\)) acts transitively on \(A\). A sequence \(\{x_n\}\) in \(E\) is \(\sigma\)-rigid if \(\rho(x_{i+1}, x_{j+1}) = \rho(x_i,x_j)\) for all \(i,j\); the closure of a \(\sigma\)-rigid sequence is a \(\sigma\)-rigid set and a compact \(\sigma\)-rigid set is an s-rigid set. An equilateral sequence \(\{x_n\}\) (for which \(\rho(x_i,x_j) = \delta_{ij}c\)) is both rigid and \(\sigma\)-rigid. The orbit of a point under an isometry is also both rigid and a \(\sigma\)-rigid sequence. In fact, an s-rigid set is necessarily the closure of the orbit of any one of its points under an isometry. This paper is a useful compendium of results (both known and new), examples and open questions about rigid and s-rigid sets.
