Kavli Affiliate: Shinichiro Takeda | Summary:The Crab nebula originated from a core-collapse supernova (SN) explosion observed in 1054 A.D. When viewed as a supernova remnant (SNR), it has an anomalously low observed ejecta mass and kinetic energy for an Fe-core collapse SN. Intensive searches were made for a massive shell that solves this discrepancy, but […]
Kavli Affiliate: Rafe Schindler | Summary:We perform a systematic search for long-term extreme variability quasars (EVQs) in the overlapping Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and 3-Year Dark Energy Survey (DES) imaging, which provide light curves spanning more than 15 years. We identified ~1000 EVQs with a maximum g band magnitude change of more than 1 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Todor Milanov | Summary:We invert the period map defined by the second structure connection of quantum cohomology of $mathbbP^2$. For small quantum cohomology the inverse is given explicitly in terms of the Eisenstein series $E_4$ and $E_6$, while for big quantum cohomology the inverse is determined perturbatively as a Taylor series expansion whose […]
Kavli Affiliate: Vladyslav Vyazovskiy | Summary:Increasing evidence suggests that cortical dynamics during wake exhibits long-range temporal correlations suitable to integrate inputs over extended periods of time to increase the signal-to-noise ratio in decision-making and working memory tasks. Accordingly, sleep has been suggested as a state characterized by a breakdown of long-range correlations; detailed measurements of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Peter Ford | Summary:This paper introduces a cognitive architecture for a humanoid robot to engage in a proactive, mixed-initiative exploration and manipulation of its environment, where the initiative can originate from both the human and the robot. The framework, based on a biologically-grounded theory of the brain and mind, integrates a reactive interaction […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mikhail G. Shapiro| First 5 Authors: The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, , , | Summary:We present the results of a semicoherent search for continuous gravitational waves from the low-mass X-ray binary Scorpius X-1, using data from the first Advanced LIGO observing run. The search method uses details of the modelled, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hiraku Nakajima | Summary:This is the second companion paper of arXiv:1601.03586. We consider the morphism from the variety of triples introduced in arXiv:1601.03586 to the affine Grassmannian. The direct image of the dualizing complex is a ring object in the equivariant derived category on the affine Grassmannian (equivariant derived Satake category). We show […]
