Abstract: Abstract rigidity matroids are generalizations of the infinitesimal rigidity matroids of frameworks in Euclidean space. In this paper we give a local characterization for abstract rigidity in any dimension. The conditions in this characterization are in many instances easier to verify than those in the definition of these matroids.
