Timeseries on IIoT Platforms: Requirements and Survey for Digital Twins in Process Industry
In the pursue for sustainability in process industry, digital twins
necessitate the communication and storage of timeseries data about Industrial
Internet of Things (IIoT). Regarding timeseries, this paper first presents a
set of requirements specific to process industries. Then, it surveys how
existing IIoT technologies meet the requirements. The technologies include the
API specifications Asset Administration Shell (AAS), Digital Twin Definition
Language (DTDL), NGSI-LD and Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture
(OPC UA) as well as six commercial platforms. All the technologies leave
significant gaps regarding the requirements, which means that tailor-made
extensions are necessary.Comment: 6 pages, 1 figure, 1 tabl
Yang-Mills instantons on cones and sine-cones over nearly K\"ahler manifolds
We present a unified eight-dimensional approach to instanton equations on
several seven-dimensional manifolds associated to a six-dimensional homogeneous
nearly K\"ahler manifold. The cone over the sine-cone on a nearly K\"ahler
manifold has holonomy group Spin(7) and can be foliated by submanifolds with
either holonomy group G_2, a nearly parallel G_2-structure or a cocalibrated
G_2-structure. We show that there is a G_2-instanton on each of these
seven-dimensional manifolds which gives rise to a Spin(7)-instanton in eight
dimensions. The well-known octonionic instantons on R^7 and R^8 are contained
in our construction as the special cases of an instanton on the cone and on the
cone over the sine-cone, both over the six-sphere, respectively.Comment: 1+21 page
Homogeneous heterotic supergravity solutions with linear dilaton
I construct solutions to the heterotic supergravity BPS-equations on products
of Minkowski space with a non-symmetric coset. All of the bosonic fields are
homogeneous and non-vanishing, the dilaton being a linear function on the
non-compact part of spacetime.Comment: 36 pages; v2 conclusion updated and references adde
Instantons and Killing spinors
We investigate instantons on manifolds with Killing spinors and their cones.
Examples of manifolds with Killing spinors include nearly Kaehler 6-manifolds,
nearly parallel G_2-manifolds in dimension 7, Sasaki-Einstein manifolds, and
3-Sasakian manifolds. We construct a connection on the tangent bundle over
these manifolds which solves the instanton equation, and also show that the
instanton equation implies the Yang-Mills equation, despite the presence of
torsion. We then construct instantons on the cones over these manifolds, and
lift them to solutions of heterotic supergravity. Amongst our solutions are new
instantons on even-dimensional Euclidean spaces, as well as the well-known
BPST, quaternionic and octonionic instantons.Comment: 40 pages, 2 figures v2: author email addresses and affiliations adde
