Realistic implementations of the Kitaev chain require, in general, the introduction of extra internal degrees of freedom. In the present work, we discuss the presence of hidden BDI symmetries for free Hamiltonians describing systems with an arbitrary number of internal degrees of freedom. We generalize results of a spinfull Kitaev chain to construct a Hamiltonian with n internal degrees of free...

In omnidirectional cameras, straight lines are projected onto curves called line-images. The shape of these curves is strongly dependent of the particular camera configuration. The great diversity of omnidirectional camera systems makes harder the line-image extraction in a general way. Therefore, it is difficult to design uncalibrated general approaches, and existing methods to extract lines i...

Most present day color scanners, with red, green, and blue filters, are non-colorimetric. This means that their outputs cannot be linearly transformed into CIE tristimulus values for arbitrary input materials. On the other hand, by restricting oneself to a single class of inputs such as photographic, lithographic, or xerographic materials, very accurate scanner calibrations are possible. In thi...

in this paper, a higher order continuum model is presented based on the cosserat continuum theory in 3d numerical simulation of shear band localization. as the classical continuum models suffer from the pathological mesh-dependence in strain softening models, the governing equations are regularized by adding the rotational degrees-of-freedom to conventional degrees-of-freedom. the fundamental r...

Under open and dense conditions we show that Arnold diffusion orbits exist in a priori unstable and time-periodic Hamiltonian systems with two degrees of freedom. 1, Introduction and Results By the KAM (Kolmogorov, Arnold and Moser) theory we know that there are many invariant tori in nearly integrable Hamiltonian systems with arbitrary n degrees of freedom. These tori are of n dimension and oc...

In a previous paper we showed that the absence of the van Dam-Veltman-Zakharov discontinuity as M 2 → 0 for massive spin-2 with a Λ term is an artifact of the tree approximation, and that the discontinuity reappears at one loop, as a result of going from five degrees of freedom to two. In this paper we show that a similar classical continuity but quantum discontinuity arises in the " partially ...
