Kavli Affiliate: Cheng Peng | First 5 Authors: Chi-Ming Chang, Sean Colin-Ellerin, Cheng Peng, Mukund Rangamani, | Summary: We present a one-parameter family of large $N$ disordered models, with and without supersymmetry, in three spacetime dimensions. They interpolate from the critical large $N$ vector model dual to a classical higher spin theory, towards a theory […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wayne Hu | First 5 Authors: Evan McDonough, Meng-Xiang Lin, J. Colin Hill, Wayne Hu, Shengjia Zhou | Summary: We consider the interplay of the Early Dark Energy (EDE) model, the Swampland Distance Conjecture (SDC), and cosmological parameter tensions. EDE is a proposed resolution of the Hubble tension relying upon a near-Planckian scalar […]
Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Takada | First 5 Authors: Youngsoo Park, Tomomi Sunayama, Masahiro Takada, Yosuke Kobayashi, Hironao Miyatake | Summary: We present a novel analysis for cluster cosmology that fully forward models the abundances, weak lensing, and the clustering of galaxy clusters. Our analysis notably includes an empirical model for the anisotropic boosts impacting the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Xiang Zhang, Zhaozheng Lyu, Guang Yang, Bing Li, Yan-Liang Hou | Summary: We studied anomalous Josephson effect (AJE) in Josephson trijunctions fabricated on Bi$_2$Se$_3$, and found that the AJE in T-shaped trijunctions significantly alters the Majorana phase diagram of the trijunctions, when an in-plane magnetic field is […]
