Spatial and orbital planes of the Milky Way satellites: unusual but consistent with $Λ$CDM

Kavli Affiliate: Andrey Kravtsov | First 5 Authors: Khanh Pham, Andrey Kravtsov, Viraj Manwadkar, , | Summary: We examine the spatial distribution and orbital pole correlations of satellites in a suite of zoom-in high-resolution dissipationless simulations of Miky Way (MW) sized haloes. We use the measured distribution to estimate the incidence of satellite configurations as […]

Symphony: Cosmological Zoom-in Simulation Suites over Four Decades of Host Halo Mass

Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Ethan O. Nadler, Philip Mansfield, Yunchong Wang, Xiaolong Du, Susmita Adhikari | Summary: We present Symphony, a compilation of $262$ cosmological, cold dark matter-only zoom-in simulations spanning four decades of host halo mass, from $10^{11}~M_{mathrm{odot}}$ to $10^{15}~M_{mathrm{odot}}$. This compilation includes three existing simulation suites at the […]

Finite-Time Error Bounds for Greedy-GQ

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Yue Wang, Yi Zhou, Shaofeng Zou, , | Summary: Greedy-GQ with linear function approximation, originally proposed in cite{maei2010toward}, is a value-based off-policy algorithm for optimal control in reinforcement learning, and it has a non-linear two timescale structure with the non-convex objective function. This paper develops its tightest […]

The X-ray polarimetry view of the accreting pulsar Cen X-3

Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Sergey S. Tsygankov, Victor Doroshenko, Juri Poutanen, Jeremy Heyl, Alexander A. Mushtukov | Summary: Cen X-3 is the first X-ray pulsar discovered 50 years ago. Radiation from such objects is expected to be highly polarized due to birefringence of plasma and vacuum associated with propagation of […]

PROBs and perverse sheaves II. Ran spaces and 0-cycles with coefficients

Kavli Affiliate: Mikhail Kapranov | First 5 Authors: Mikhail Kapranov, Vadim Schechtman, , , | Summary: We consider the space Z(C,L) of 0-cycles on the complex line C with coefficients in a commutative monoid L subject to certain conditions. Such spaces include the symmetric products (for L=Z_+) and the Ran space (for L=T={ True, False} […]

Scale-invariant enhancement of gravitational waves during inflation

Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | First 5 Authors: Atsuhisa Ota, Misao Sasaki, Yi Wang, , | Summary: The inflationary 1-loop tensor power spectrum from an excited spectator scalar field is calculated. Recent studies on primordial black holes suggest that the inflationary curvature perturbation may be huge on small scales. An enhanced curvature perturbation may arise […]
