Kavli Affiliate: Li Xin Li | First 5 Authors: Bo Li, Xin Li, Wang Gao, Qing Jiang, | Summary: Surface energy is fundamental in controlling surface properties and surface-driven processes like heterogeneous catalysis, as adsorption energy is. It is thus crucial to establish an effective scheme to determine surface energy and its relation with adsorption […]
Kavli Affiliate: Toshiyuki Kobayashi | First 5 Authors: Toshiyuki Kobayashi, , , , | Summary: Geometric symmetry induces symmetries of function spaces, and the latter yields a clue to global analysis via representation theory. In this note we summarize recent developments on the general theory about how geometric conditions affect representation theoretic properties on function […]
Kavli Affiliate: Toshiyuki Kobayashi | First 5 Authors: Toshiyuki Kobayashi, Birgit Speh, , , | Summary: We consider branching laws for the restriction of some irreducible unitary representations $Pi$ of $G=O(p,q)$ to its subgroup $H=O(p-1,q)$. In Kobayashi (arXiv:1907.07994), the irreducible subrepresentations of $O(p-1,q)$ in the restriction of the unitary $Pi|_{O(p-1,q) }$ are determined. By considering […]
Kavli Affiliate: Paul L. Schechter | First 5 Authors: Anton T. Jaelani, Cristian E. Rusu, Issha Kayo, Anupreeta More, Alessandro Sonnenfeld | Summary: We present spectroscopic confirmation of three new two-image gravitationally lensed quasars, compiled from existing strong lens and X-ray catalogs. Images of HSC J091843.27$-$022007.5 show a red galaxy with two blue point sources […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yukinobu Toda | First 5 Authors: Yukinobu Toda, , , , | Summary: In this paper, we prove a window theorem for categorical Donaldson-Thomas theories on local surfaces as an analogue of window theorem for GIT quotient stacks. We give two applications of our main result. The first one is a proof of […]
Kavli Affiliate: David A. Principe | First 5 Authors: Alice Zurlo, Lucas A. Cieza, Sebastián Pérez, Valentin Christiaens, Jonathan P. Williams | Summary: We present Adaptive Optics (AO) near infrared (NIR) observations using VLT/NACO and Keck/NIRC2 of ODISEA targets. ODISEA is an ALMA survey of the entire population of circumstellar discs in the Ophiuchus molecular […]
Kavli Affiliate: Shmuel M. Rubinstein | First 5 Authors: Sam Dillavou, Yohai Bar Sinai, Michael P Brenner, Shmuel M Rubinstein, | Summary: Classically, the quantity of contact area $A_R$ between two bodies is considered a proxy for the force of friction. However, bond density across the interface – quality of contact – is also relevant, […]
Kavli Affiliate: J. Todd Hoeksema | First 5 Authors: J. Todd Hoeksema, William P. Abbett, David J. Bercik, Mark C. M. Cheung, Marc L. DeRosa | Summary: The Coronal Global Evolutionary Model (CGEM) provides data-driven simulations of the magnetic field in the solar corona to better understand the build-up of magnetic energy that leads to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gabor Furesz | First 5 Authors: Ismael Mireles, Avi Shporer, Nolan Grieves, George Zhou, Maximilian N. Günther | Summary: We report the discovery of TOI 694 b and TIC 220568520 b, two low-mass stellar companions in eccentric orbits around metal-rich Sun-like stars, first detected by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). TOI 694 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hirosi Ooguri | First 5 Authors: Hirosi Ooguri, Tadashi Takayanagi, , , | Summary: McNamara and Vafa conjectured that any pair of consistent quantum gravity theories can be connected by a domain wall. We test the conjecture in the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence. There are topological constraints on existence of an interface […]
