Every $d(d+1)$-connected graph is globally rigid in $\mathbb{R}^d$

Abstract

Using a probabilistic method, we prove that $d(d+1)$-connected graphs are rigid in $\mathbb{R}^d$, a conjecture of Lov\'asz and Yemini. Then, using recent results on weakly globally linked pairs, we modify our argument to prove that $d(d+1)$-connected graphs are globally rigid, too, a conjecture of Connelly, Jord\'an and Whiteley. The constant $d(d+1)$ is best possible.
