Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Andrew Romero-Wolf, Geoffrey Bryden, Sara Seager, N. Jeremy Kasdin, Jeff Booth | Summary: Launching a starshade to rendezvous with the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope would provide the first opportunity to directly image the habitable zones of nearby sunlike stars in the coming decade. A report on […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ariel Amir | First 5 Authors: Paul Dieterle, Ariel Amir, , , | Summary: Scientists have observed and studied diffusive waves in contexts as disparate as population genetics and cell signaling. Often, these waves are propagated by discrete entities or agents, such as individual cells in the case of cell signaling. For a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Natalia Chepiga | First 5 Authors: Natalia Chepiga, Frédéric Mila, , , | Summary: The recent investigation of chains of Rydberg atoms has brought back the problem of commensurate-incommensurate transitions into the focus of current research. In 2D classical systems, or in 1D quantum systems, the commensurate melting of a period-p phase with […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Yu Mei, Jia Liu, Zhiping Chen, , | Summary: We consider a distributionally robust second-order stochastic dominance constrained optimization problem. We require the dominance constraints hold with respect to all probability distributions in a Wasserstein ball centered at the empirical distribution. We adopt the sample approximation approach […]
Kavli Affiliate: Naoki Yasuda | First 5 Authors: Takayuki Ohgami, Nozomu Tominaga, Yousuke Utsumi, Yuu Niino, Masaomi Tanaka | Summary: A gravitational wave event, S190510g, which was classified as a binary-neutron-star coalescence at the time of preliminary alert, was detected by LIGO/Virgo collaboration on May 10, 2019. At 1.7 hours after the issue of its […]
