Kavli Affiliate: Yuji Tachikawa | First 5 Authors: Yuji Tachikawa, , , , | Summary: Spacetime theories obtained from perturbative string theory constructions are automatically free of perturbative anomalies, but it is not settled whether they are always free of global anomalies. Here we discuss a possible $mathbb{Z}_{24}$-valued pure gravitational anomaly of heterotic compactifications down […]
Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Needleman | First 5 Authors: Brian D Leahy, Catherine Racowsky, Daniel Needleman, , | Summary: Macroscopic, phenomenological models have proven useful as concise framings of our understandings in fields from statistical physics to economics to biology. Constructing a phenomenological model for development would provide a framework for understanding the complicated, regulatory nature […]

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Ann Zabludoff, Iair Arcavi, Stephanie La Massa, Hagai B. Perets, Benny Trakhtenbrot | Summary: Recent claimed detections of tidal disruption events (TDEs) in multi-wavelength data have opened potential new windows into the evolution and properties of otherwise dormant supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in the centres of galaxies. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Irfan Siddiqi | First 5 Authors: James O’Sullivan, Oscar W. Kennedy, Kamanasish Debnath, Joseph Alexander, Christoph W. Zollitsch | Summary: As in conventional computing, key attributes of quantum memories are high storage density and, crucially, random access, or the ability to read from or write to an arbitrarily chosen register. However, achieving such […]
