Abstract: It is a classical result that if $uin{C}^2(mathbb{R}^n;mathbb{R}^n)$ and $ablauinSO(n)$ it follows that $u$ is rigid. In this article this result is generalized to matrix fields with non-vanishing curl. It is shown that every matrix field $Rin{C}^2(Omegasubseteqmathbb{R}^3;SO(3))$ such that $operatornamecurlR=constant$ is necessarily constant. Moreover, it is proved in arbitrary dimensions that a measurable rotation field is as regular as its distributional curl allows. In particular, a measurable matrix field $R:OmegaoSO(n)$, whose curl in the sense of distributions is smooth, is also smooth.
