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.

Planar rigidity can be delicate..
