Time-symmetric integration in astrophysics

Kavli Affiliate: Edmund Bertschinger | First 5 Authors: David M. Hernandez, Edmund Bertschinger, , , | Summary: Calculating the long term solution of ordinary differential equations, such as those of the $N$-body problem, is central to understanding a wide range of dynamics in astrophysics, from galaxy formation to planetary chaos. Because generally no analytic solution […]

Molecular gas in three z~7 quasar host galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: R. G. McMahon | First 5 Authors: Bram Venemans, Fabian Walter, Roberto Decarli, Carl Ferkinhoff, Axel Weiss | Summary: We present ALMA band 3 observations of the CO(6-5), CO(7-6), and [CI] 369micron emission lines in three of the highest redshift quasar host galaxies at 6.6<z<6.9. These measurements constitute the highest-redshift CO detections to […]

Measuring Reionization, Neutrino Mass, and Cosmic Inflation with BFORE

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey John McMahon | First 5 Authors: Sean Bryan, Peter Ade, J. Richard Bond, Francois Boulanger, Mark Devlin | Summary: BFORE is a NASA high-altitude ultra-long-duration balloon mission proposed to measure the cosmic microwave background (CMB) across half the sky during a 28-day mid-latitude flight launched from Wanaka, New Zealand. With the unique […]

Ring objects in the equivariant derived Satake category arising from Coulomb branches (with an appendix by Gus Lonergan)

Kavli Affiliate: Hiraku Nakajima | First 5 Authors: Alexander Braverman, Michael Finkelberg, 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 […]

Onset of many-body chaos in the $O(N)$ model

Kavli Affiliate: Debanjan Chowdhury | First 5 Authors: Debanjan Chowdhury, Brian Swingle, , , | Summary: The growth of commutators of initially commuting local operators diagnoses the onset of chaos in quantum many-body systems. We compute such commutators of local field operators with $N$ components in the $(2+1)$-dimensional $O(N)$ nonlinear sigma model to leading order […]

Two- and Three-Dimensional Probes of Parity in Primordial Gravity Waves

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi Wesley Masui | First 5 Authors: Kiyoshi Wesley Masui, Ue-Li Pen, Neil Turok, , | Summary: We show that three-dimensional information is critical to discerning the effects of parity violation in the primordial gravity-wave background. If present, helical gravity waves induce parity-violating correlations in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) between parity-odd polarization […]

The compact, ~1 kpc host galaxy of a quasar at z=7.1

Kavli Affiliate: R. G. McMahon | First 5 Authors: Bram Venemans, Fabian Walter, Roberto Decarli, Eduardo Banados, Jacqueline Hodge | Summary: We present ALMA observations of the [CII] fine structure line and the underlying far-infrared (FIR) dust continuum emission in J1120+0641, the most distant quasar currently known (z=7.1). We also present observations targeting the CO(2-1), […]
