In this paper, we give a full classification of all pentapods with mobility 2, where neither all platform anchor points nor all base anchor points are located on a line. Therefore, this paper solves the famous Borel–Bricard problem for two-dimensional motions beside the excluded case of five collinear points with spherical trajectories. But even for this special case, we present three new types as a side-result. Based on our study of pentapods, we also give a complete list of all nonarchitecturally singular hexapods with two-dimensional self-motions.

In this paper, we study natural paracontact magnetic trajectories in the unit tangent bundle, i.e., those that are associated to g-natural paracontact metric structures. We characterize slant natural paracontact magnetic trajectories as those satisfying a certain conservation law. Restricting to two-dimensional base manifolds of constant Gaussian curvature and to Kaluza–Klein type metrics on their unit tangent bundles, we give a full classification of natural paracontact slant magnetic trajectories (and geodesics).

SUMMARYWe give a full classification of all pentapods with linear platform possessing a self-motion beside the trivial rotation about the platform. Recent research necessitates a contemporary and accurate re-examination of old results on this topic given by Darboux, Mannheim, Duporcq and Bricard, which also takes the coincidence of platform anchor points into account. For our study we use bond theory with respect to a novel kinematic mapping for pentapods with linear platform, beside the method of singular-invariant leg-rearrangements. Based on our results we design pentapods with linear platform, which have a simplified direct kinematics concerning their number of (real) solutions.

This paper reports on the full classification of Dirichlet–Voronoi polyhedra and Delaunay subdivisions of five-dimensional translational lattices. A complete list is obtained of 110 244 affine types (L-types) of Delaunay subdivisions and it turns out that they are all combinatorially inequivalent, giving the same number of combinatorial types of Dirichlet–Voronoi polyhedra. Using a refinement of corresponding secondary cones, 181 394 contraction types are obtained. The paper gives details of the computer-assisted enumeration, which was verified by three independent implementations and a topological mass formula check.

AbstractThe onset of thermal convection in two-dimensional porous cavities heated from below is studied theoretically. An open (constant-pressure) boundary is assumed, with zero perturbation temperature (thermally conducting). The resulting eigenvalue problem is a full fourth-order problem without degeneracies. Numerical results are presented for rectangular and elliptical cavities, with the circle as a special case. The analytical solution for an upright rectangle confirms the numerical results. Streamlines penetrating the open cavities are plotted, together with the isotherms for the associated closed thermal cells. Isobars forming pressure cells are depicted for the perturbation pressure. The critical Rayleigh number is calculated as a function of geometric parameters, including the tilt angle of the rectangle and ellipse. An improved physical scaling of the Darcy–Bénard problem is suggested. Its significance is indicated by the ratio of maximal vertical velocity to maximal temperature perturbation.

AbstractIn this paper, we continue the study of powerfully nilpotent groups. These are powerful p-groups possessing a central series of a special kind. To each such group, one can attach a powerful nilpotency class that leads naturally to the notion of a powerful coclass and classification in terms of an ancestry tree. In this paper, we will give a full classification of powerfully nilpotent groups of rank 2. The classification will then be used to arrive at a precise formula for the number of powerfully nilpotent groups of rank 2 and order {p^{n}}. We will also give a detailed analysis of the ancestry tree for these groups. The second part of the paper is then devoted to a full classification of powerfully nilpotent groups of order up to {p^{6}}.

Abstract We construct classical theories for scalar fields in arbitrary Carroll spacetimes that are invariant under Carrollian diffeomorphisms and Weyl transformations. When the local symmetries are gauge fixed these theories become Carrollian conformal field theories. We show that generically there are at least two types of such theories: one in which only time derivatives of the fields appear and the other in which both space and time derivatives appear. A classification of such scalar field theories in three (and higher) dimensions up to two derivative order is provided. We show that only a special case of our theories arises in the ultra-relativistic limit of a covariant parent theory.
