Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey A. Harvey | First 5 Authors: Zihni Kaan Baykara, Jeffrey A. Harvey, , , | Summary: We extend the investigation of special toroidal compactifications of heterotic string theory for which the half-BPS states provide representations of subgroups of the Conway group. We also explore dual descriptions of these theories and find that […]
Kavli Affiliate: Erin A. Kara | First 5 Authors: Christopher S. Reynolds, Robyn N. Smith, Andrew C. Fabian, Yasushi Fukazawa, Erin A. Kara | Summary: NGC1275 is the Brightest Cluster Galaxy (BCG) in the Perseus cluster and hosts the active galactic nucleus (AGN) that is heating the central 100,kpc of the intracluster medium (ICM) atmosphere […]
Kavli Affiliate: Matthew P. A. Fisher | First 5 Authors: Yaodong Li, Matthew P. A. Fisher, , , | Summary: We explore a class of "open" quantum circuit models with local decoherence ("noise") and local projective measurements, each respecting a global Z_2 symmetry. The model supports a spin glass phase where the Z_2 symmetry is […]

Kavli Affiliate: Kohei Inayoshi | First 5 Authors: Yu Qiu, Haojie Hu, Kohei Inayoshi, Luis C. Ho, Tamara Bogdanovic | Summary: Warm ionized and cold neutral outflows with velocities exceeding $100,{rm km,s}^{-1}$ are commonly observed in galaxies and clusters. Theoretical studies however indicate that ram pressure from a hot wind, driven either by the central […]
Kavli Affiliate: Zeeshan Ahmed | First 5 Authors: Fuhu Che, Qasim Zeeshan Ahmed, Faheem A. Khan, Pavlos I. Lazaridis, | Summary: With the rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT), Indoor Positioning System (IPS) has attracted significant interest in academic research. Ultra-Wideband (UWB) is an emerging technology that can be employed for IPS as […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey B. Neaton | First 5 Authors: Tiancong Zhu, Wei Ruan, Yan-Qi Wang, Hsin-Zon Tsai, Shuopei Wang | Summary: One-dimensional electron systems (1DESs) exhibit properties that are fundamentally different from higher-dimensional systems. For example, electron-electron interactions in 1DESs have been predicted to induce Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid behavior. Naturally-occurring grain boundaries in single-layer semiconducting transition […]
