NANOGrav results and LIGO-Virgo primordial black holes in axion-like curvaton model

Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Kawasaki | First 5 Authors: Keisuke Inomata, Masahiro Kawasaki, Kyohei Mukaida, Tsutomu T. Yanagida, | Summary: We discuss a possible connection between the recent NANOGrav results and the primordial black holes (PBHs) for the LIGO-Virgo events. In particular, we focus on the axion-like curvaton model, which provides a sizable amount of PBHs […]

Out of Control: Reducing Probabilistic Models by Control-State Elimination

Kavli Affiliate: Johannes Lehmann | First 5 Authors: Tobias Winkler, Johannes Lehmann, Joost-Pieter Katoen, , | Summary: State-of-the-art probabilistic model checkers perform verification on explicit-state Markov models defined in a high-level programming formalism like the PRISM modeling language. Typically, the low-level models resulting from such program-like specifications exhibit lots of structure such as repeating subpatterns. […]

Matrix model for the total descendant potential of a simple singularity of type $D$

Kavli Affiliate: Todor Milanov | First 5 Authors: Alexander Alexandrov, Todor Milanov, , , | Summary: We construct a Hermitian matrix model for the total descendant potential of a simple singularity of type D similar to the Kontsevich matrix model for the generating function of intersection numbers on the Deligne–Mumford moduli spaces $overline{mathcal{M}}_{g,n}$. | Search […]

Insights into photosynthetic energy transfer gained from free-energy structure: Coherent transport, incoherent hopping, and vibrational assistance revisited

Kavli Affiliate: Graham R. Fleming | First 5 Authors: Akihito Ishizaki, Graham R. Fleming, , , | Summary: Giant strides in ultrashort laser pulse technology have enabled real-time observation of dynamical processes in complex molecular systems. Specifically, the discovery of oscillatory transients in the two-dimensional electronic spectra of photosynthetic systems stimulated a number of theoretical […]

Prestrain-induced bandgap tuning in 3D-printed tensegrity-inspired lattice structures

Kavli Affiliate: Chiara Daraio | First 5 Authors: Kirsti Pajunen, Paolo Celli, Chiara Daraio, , | Summary: In this letter, we provide experimental evidence of bandgap tunability with global prestrain in additively-manufactured tensegrity-inspired lattice structures. These lattices are extremely lightweight and designed to exhibit a nonlinear compressive response that mimics that of a tensegrity structure. […]

P-orbital magnetic topological states on square lattice

Kavli Affiliate: Bo Gu | First 5 Authors: Jing-Yang You, Bo Gu, Gang Su, , | Summary: Honeycomb or triangular lattices were extensively studied and thought to be proper platforms for realizing quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE), where magnetism is usually caused by d orbitals of transition metals. Here we propose that square lattice can […]

Effect on Dark Matter Exclusion Limits from New Silicon Photoelectric Absorption Measurements

Kavli Affiliate: Blas Cabrera | First 5 Authors: Belina von Krosigk, Matthew J. Wilson, Chris Stanford, Blas Cabrera, Robert Calkins | Summary: Recent breakthroughs in cryogenic silicon detector technology allow for the observation of single electron-hole pairs released via particle interactions within the target material. This implies sensitivity to energy depositions as low as the […]
