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 […]

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: 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 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: This paper presents and analyzes an immersed finite element (IFE) method for solving Stokes interface problems with a piecewise constant viscosity coefficient that has a jump across the interface. In the method, the triangulation does not need to fit the interface […]
