Local and global d-rigidity are not definable in the first order logic of graphs

Abstract

We use Hanf locality and a result of Cruickshank, Jackson, and Tanigawa on the global rigidity of graphs of k-circuits to prove that local and global d-rigidity are not definable in the first order logic of graphs.
