Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Ke Wang, T. A. Sedrakyan, , , | Summary: We consider Lifshitz criticalities with dynamical exponent $z=2$ that emerge in a class of topological chains. There, such a criticality plays a fundamental role in describing transitions between symmetry-enriched conformal field theories (CFTs). We report that, at such […]
Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: F. Abudinén, I. Adachi, R. Adak, K. Adamczyk, L. Aggarwal | Summary: This paper reports a study of $B to K^{*}gamma$ decays using $62.8pm 0.6$ fb$^{-1}$ of data collected during 2019–2020 by the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB $e^{+}e^{-}$ asymmetric-energy collider, corresponding to $(68.2 pm 0.8) […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tomotake Matsumura | First 5 Authors: Takayuki Toda, Yuki Sakurai, Hirokazu Ishino, Tomotake Matsumura, Kunimoto Komatsu | Summary: The polarization modulator unit for the low-frequency telescope in LiteBIRD employs an achromatic half-wave plate (AHWP). It consists of five layers of a-cut sapphire plate, which are stacked based on a Pancharatnam recipe. In this […]
Kavli Affiliate: Rebecca Masterson | First 5 Authors: Jaesub Hong, Richard P. Binzel, Branden Allen, David Guevel, Jonathan Grindlay | Summary: The REgolith X-ray Imaging Spectrometer (REXIS) instrument on board NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission to the asteroid Bennu is a Class-D student collaboration experiment designed to detect fluoresced X-rays from the asteroid’s surface to measure elemental […]

Kavli Affiliate: Cheng Peng | First 5 Authors: Cheng Peng, Hong-Chen Jiang, Brian Moritz, Thomas P. Devereaux, Chunjing Jia | Summary: The recent discovery of superconductivity in infinite-layer nickelates has drawn considerable attention; however, a consensus on the fundamental building blocks and common ingredients necessary to understand and describe their ground states and emergent properties […]
Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Feng Wang, Tao Kong, Rufeng Zhang, Huaping Liu, Hang Li | Summary: We present TWIST, a simple and theoretically explainable self-supervised representation learning method by classifying large-scale unlabeled datasets in an end-to-end way. We employ a siamese network terminated by a softmax operation to produce twin class […]
Kavli Affiliate: Debora Sijacki | First 5 Authors: Jake S. Bennett, Debora Sijacki, , , | Summary: The use of galaxy clusters as cosmological probes often relies on understanding the properties and evolution of the intracluster medium (ICM). However, the ICM is a complex plasma, regularly stirred by mergers and feedback, with non-negligible bulk and […]

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Ziyi Chen, Qunwei Li, Yi Zhou, , | Summary: Standard gradient descent-ascent (GDA)-type algorithms can only find stationary points in nonconvex minimax optimization, which are far more sub-optimal than local minimax points. In this work, we develop GDA-type algorithms that globally converge to local minimax points in […]
