We have investigated if the vector field can give rise to an accelerating phase in the early universe. We consider a timelike vector field with a general quadratic kinetic term in order to preserve an isotropic background spacetime. The vector field potential is required to satisfy the three minimal conditions for successful inflation: i) ρ > 0, ii) ρ + 3P < 0, and iii) the slow-roll conditions. As an example, we consider a massive vector potential and a small-field type potential as in scalar driven inflation.

Abstract The generalized SU(2) Proca theory (GSU2P for short) is a variant of the well known generalized Proca theory (GP for short) where the vector field belongs to the Lie algebra of the SU(2) group of global transformations under which the action is made invariant. New interesting possibilities arise in this framework because of the existence of new interactions of purely non-Abelian character and new configurations of the vector field that result in spatial spherical symmetry and the cosmological dynamics being driven by the propagating degrees of freedom. We study the two-dimensional phase space of the system that results when the cosmic triad configuration is employed in the Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker background and find an attractor curve whose attraction basin covers almost all the allowed region. Such an attractor curve corresponds to a primordial inflationary solution that has the following characteristic properties: 1.) it is a de Sitter solution whose Hubble parameter is regulated by a generalized version of the SU(2) group coupling constant, 2.) it is constant-roll including, as opposite limiting cases, the slow-roll and ultra slow-roll varieties, 3.) a number of e-folds $N > 60$ is easily reached, 4.) it has a graceful exit into a radiation dominated period powered by the canonical kinetic term of the vector field and the Einstein-Hilbert term. The free parameters of the action are chosen such that the tensor sector of the theory is the same as that of general relativity at least up to second-order perturbations, thereby avoiding the presence of ghost and Laplacian instabilities in the tensor sector as well as making the gravity waves propagate at light speed. This is a proof of concept of the interesting properties we could find in this scenario when the coupling constants be replaced by general coupling functions.

Inspired by the Generalized Proca Theory, we study a vector–tensor model of inflation with massive vector fields and derivative self-interactions. The action under consideration contains a usual Maxwell-like kinetic term, a general potential term and a term with nonminimal derivative coupling between the vector field and gravity, via the dual Riemann tensor. In this theory, the last term contains a free parameter, [Formula: see text], which quantifies the nonminimal derivative coupling. In this scenario, taking into account a spatially flat Friedmann–Robertson–Walker (FRW) universe and a general vector field, we obtain the general expressions for the equation of motion and the total energy–momentum tensor. Choosing a Proca-type potential, a suitable inflationary regimen driven by massive vector fields is studied. In this model, the isotropy of expansion is guaranteed by considering a triplet of orthogonal vector fields. In order to obtain an inflationary solution with this model, the quasi de Sitter expansion was considered. In this case, the vector field behaves as a constant. Finally, slow-roll analysis is performed and slow-roll conditions are defined for this model, which, for suitable constraints of the model parameters, can give the required number of e-folds for sufficient inflation.

Elastic Strains

The paper considers the mathematical model development technique to build a vector field of the shape deviations when machining flat surfaces of shell parts on multi-operational machines under conditions of anisotropic rigidity in technological system (TS). The technological system has an anisotropic rigidity, as its elastic strains do not obey the accepted concepts, i.e. the rigidity towards the coordinate axes of the machine is the same, and they occur only towards the external force. The record shows that the diagrams of elastic strains of machine units are substantially different from the circumference. The issues to ensure the specified accuracy require that there should be mathematical models describing kinematic models and physical processes of mechanical machining under conditions of the specific TS. There are such models for external and internal surfaces of rotation [2,3], which are successfully implemented in practice. Flat surfaces (FS) of shell parts (SP) are both assembly and processing datum surfaces. Therefore, on them special stipulations are made regarding deviations of shape and mutual arrangement. The axes of the main bearing holes are coordinated with respect to them. The joints that ensure leak tightness and distributed load on the product part are closed on these surfaces. The paper deals with the analytical construction of the vector field F, which describes with appropriate approximation the real surface obtained as a result of modeling the process of machining flat surfaces (MFS) through face milling under conditions of anisotropic properties.

Abstract The goal of this article is to provide a construction and classification, in the case of two complex dimensions, of the possible tangent cones at points of limit spaces of non-collapsed sequences of Kähler-Einstein metrics with cone singularities. The proofs and constructions are completely elementary, nevertheless they have an intrinsic beauty. In a few words; tangent cones correspond to spherical metrics with cone singularities in the projective line by means of the Kähler quotient construction with respect to the S1-action generated by the Reeb vector field, except in the irregular case ℂβ₁×ℂβ₂ with β₂/ β₁ ∉ Q.

Abstract The full-wing solar-powered UAV has a large aspect ratio, special configuration, and excellent aerodynamic performance. This UAV converts solar energy into electrical energy for level flight and storage to improve endurance performance. The UAV only uses a differential throttle for lateral control, and the insufficient control capability during crosswind landing results in a large lateral distance bias and leads to multiple landing failures. This paper analyzes 11 landing failures and finds that a large lateral distance bias at the beginning of the approach and the coupling of base and differential throttle control is the main reason for multiple landing failures. To improve the landing performance, a heading angle-based vector field (VF) method is applied to the straight-line and orbit paths following and two novel 3D Dubins landing paths are proposed to reduce the initial lateral control bias. The results show that the straight-line path simulation exhibits similar phenomenon with the practical failure; the single helical path has the highest lateral control accuracy; the left-arc to left-arc (L-L) path avoids the saturation of the differential throttle; and both paths effectively improve the probability of successful landing.
