Abstract

Continuing earlier work by Székelyhidi, we describe the topological and geometric structure of so-called T4-configurations which are the most prominent examples of nontrivial rank-one convex hulls. It turns out that the structure of T4-configurations in ℝ2×2 is very rich; in particular, their collection is open as a subset of (ℝ2×2)4. Moreover a previously purely algebraic criterion is given a geometric interpretation. As a consequence, we sketch an improved algorithm to detect T4-configurations.
