Mechanotransduction events at the physiological site of touch detection

Kavli Affiliate: Elena Gracheva | Authors: Luke H. Ziolkowski, Elena O. Gracheva and Sviatoslav N. Bagriantsev | Summary: Abstract Afferents of peripheral mechanoreceptors innervate the skin of vertebrates, where they detect physical touch via mechanically gated ion channels (mechanotransducers). While the afferent terminal is generally understood to be the primary site of mechanotransduction, the functional […]

Electro-optic transduction in silicon via GHz-frequency nanomechanics

Kavli Affiliate: Mohammad Mirhosseini | First 5 Authors: Han Zhao, Alkim Bozkurt, Mohammad Mirhosseini, , | Summary: Interfacing electronics with optical fiber networks is key to the long-distance transfer of classical and quantum information. Piezo-optomechanical transducers enable such interfaces by using GHz-frequency acoustic vibrations as mediators for converting microwave photons to optical photons via the […]

Bounded multiplicity branching for symmetric pairs

Kavli Affiliate: Toshiyuki Kobayashi | First 5 Authors: Toshiyuki Kobayashi, , , , | Summary: We prove that any simply connected non-compact semisimple Lie group $G$ admits an infinite-dimensional irreducible representation $Pi$ with bounded multiplicity property of the restriction $Pi|_{G’}$ for all symmetric pairs $(G, G’)$. We also discuss which irreducible representations $Pi$ satisfy the […]
