Line Expansion Opacity in Relativistically Expanding Media

Kavli Affiliate: Li Xin Li |Summary:Spectral lines of heavy atomic elements in the ejecta of supernovae and neutron star mergers can have important contribution to the opacity of the ejecta matter even when the abundance of the elements is very small. Under favorable conditions, the line expansion opacity arising from spectral lines and the expansion […]

Observation of spin-momentum locked surface states in amorphous Bi$_2$Se$_3$

Kavli Affiliate: Alessandra Lanzara | Summary:Crystalline symmetries have played a central role in the identification of topological materials. The use of symmetry indicators and band representations have enabled a classification scheme for crystalline topological materials, leading to large scale topological materials discovery. In this work we address whether amorphous topological materials, which lie beyond this […]

A turbulent eddy-viscosity surrogate modeling framework for Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes simulations

Kavli Affiliate: Elise Jennings | Summary:The Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations for steady-state assessment of incompressible turbulent flows remain the workhorse for practical computational fluid dynamics (CFD) applications. Consequently, improvements in speed or accuracy have the potential to affect a diverse range of applications. We introduce a machine learning framework for the surrogate modeling of steady-state […]

Modification of electron-phonon coupling by micromachining and suspension

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Roukes | Summary:Weak electron-phonon interaction in metals at low temperatures forms the basis of operation for cryogenic hot-electron bolometers and calorimeters. Standard power laws, describing the heat flow in the majority of experiments, have been identified and derived theoretically. However, a full picture encompassing experimentally relevant effects such as reduced dimensionality, material […]

Minimal Warm Inflation

Kavli Affiliate: Peter W. Graham | First 5 Authors: Kim V. Berghaus, Peter W. Graham, David E. Kaplan, , | Summary: Slow-roll inflation is a successful paradigm. However we find that even a small coupling of the inflaton to other light fields can dramatically alter the dynamics and predictions of inflation. As an example, the […]

Hirota Quadratic Equations for the Gromov–Witten Invariants of $mathbbP_n-2,2,2^1$

Kavli Affiliate: Todor Milanov | Summary:Fano orbifold lines are classified by the Dynkin diagrams of type $A,D,$ and $E$. It is known that the corresponding total descendant potential is a tau-function of an appropriate Kac–Wakimoto hierarchy. It is also known that in the A-case the Kac–Wakimoto hierarchies admit an extension and that the total descendant […]
