Let us denote by Pi> i = 1, 2, ... , 5, the four-momenta of the internal lines of the five-point single-loop graph (p~ = fLi). Each vertex may then be labeled by two suffices and we shall denote the four-momenta of the external particles (measured formally as incoming) by P12 = PI' P23 = P2, ... ,P51 = P5 (P~ = M~). Scalar product variables may be constructed as follows

Single-loop N-bar linkages that contain one prismatic joint are common in engineering. This type of mechanism often requires complicated control and, hence, understanding its mobility is very important. This paper presents a systematic study on the mobility of this type of mechanism by introducing the concept of virtual link. It is found that this type of mechanism can be divided into three categories: Class I, Class II, and Class III. For each category, the slide reachable range is cut into different regions: Grashof region, non-Grashof region, and change-point region. In each region, the rotation range of the revolute joint or rotatability of the linkage can be determined based on Ting’s criteria. The characteristics charts are given to describe the rotatability condition. Furthermore, if the prismatic joint is an active joint, the revolvability of the input revolute joint is dependent in non-Grashof region but independent in other regions. If the prismatic joint is a passive joint, the revolvability of the input revolute joint is dependent on the offset distance of the prismatic joint. Two examples are given to demonstrate the presented method. The new method is able to cover all the cases of N-bar planar linkages with one or a set of adjoined prismatic joints. It can also be used to study N-bar open-loop planar robotic mechanisms.

Abstract We study the effects of inelastic dark matter self-interactions on the internal structure of a simulated Milky Way (MW)-size halo. Self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) is an alternative to collisionless cold dark matter (CDM) which offers a unique solution to the problems encountered with CDM on sub-galactic scales. Although previous SIDM simulations have mainly considered elastic collisions, theoretical considerations motivate the existence of multi-state dark matter where transitions from the excited to the ground state are exothermic. In this work, we consider a self-interacting, two-state dark matter model with inelastic collisions, implemented in the Arepo code. We find that energy injection from inelastic self-interactions reduces the central density of the MW halo in a shorter timescale relative to the elastic scale, resulting in a larger core size. Inelastic collisions also isotropize the orbits, resulting in an overall lower velocity anisotropy for the inelastic MW halo. In the inner halo, the inelastic SIDM case (minor-to-major axis ratio s ≡ c/a ≈ 0.65) is more spherical than the CDM (s ≈ 0.4), but less spherical than the elastic SIDM case (s ≈ 0.75). The speed distribution f(v) of dark matter particles at the location of the Sun in the inelastic SIDM model shows a significant departure from the CDM model, with f(v) falling more steeply at high speeds. In addition, the velocity kicks imparted during inelastic collisions produce unbound high-speed particles with velocities up to 500 km s−1 throughout the halo. This implies that inelastic SIDM can potentially leave distinct signatures in direct detection experiments, relative to elastic SIDM and CDM.

Abstract In the classic Coleman-Mandula no-go theorem which prohibits the unification of internal and spacetime symmetries, the assumption of the existence of a positive definite invariant scalar product on the Lie algebra of the internal group is essential. If one instead allows the scalar product to be positive semi-definite, this opens new possibilities for unification of gauge and spacetime symmetries. It follows from theorems on the structure of Lie algebras, that in the case of unified symmetries, the degenerate directions of the positive semi-definite invariant scalar product have to correspond to local symmetries with nilpotent generators. In this paper we construct a workable minimal toy model making use of this mechanism: it admits unified local symmetries having a compact (U(1)) component, a Lorentz (SL(2, ℂ)) component, and a nilpotent component gluing these together. The construction is such that the full unified symmetry group acts locally and faithfully on the matter field sector, whereas the gauge fields which would correspond to the nilpotent generators can be transformed out from the theory, leaving gauge fields only with compact charges. It is shown that already the ordinary Dirac equation admits an extremely simple prototype example for the above gauge field elimination mechanism: it has a local symmetry with corresponding eliminable gauge field, related to the dilatation group. The outlined symmetry unification mechanism can be used to by-pass the Coleman-Mandula and related no-go theorems in a way that is fundamentally different from supersymmetry. In particular, the mechanism avoids invocation of super-coordinates or extra dimensions for the underlying spacetime manifold.
