Abstract
In 2003 B. Kirchheim-D. Preiss constructed a Lipschitz map in the plane with 5 incompatible gradients, where incompatibility refers to the condition that no two of the five matrices are rank-one connected. The construction is via the method of convex integration and relies on a detailed understanding of the rank-one geometry resulting from a specific set of five matrices. The full computation of the rank-one convex hull for this specific set was later carried out in 2010 by W. Pompe in Calc. Var. PDE 37(3–4):461–473, (2010) by delicate geometric arguments. For more general sets of matrices a full computation of the rank-one convex hull is clearly out of reach. Therefore, in this short note we revisit the construction and propose a new, in some sense generic method for deciding whether convex integration for a given set of matrices can be carried out, which does not require the full computation of the rank-one convex hull.

Notes
In some sense this case can be seen as a limiting case from \(\Sigma _t=\{X:\mathrm{det}X=t\}\) with \(t\rightarrow \infty \), see the proof of Lemma 2.5 below.
