Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Lasenby | Summary:We discuss the challenges of motivating, constructing, and quantizing a canonically normalized inflationary perturbation in spatially curved universes. We show that this has historically proved challenging due to the interaction of nonadiabaticity with spatial curvature. We construct a novel curvature perturbation that is canonically normalized in the sense of its […]
Kavli Affiliate: C. M. Ignarra | Summary:The LUX-ZEPLIN experiment recently reported limits on WIMP-nucleus interactions from its initial science run, down to $9.2times10^-48$ cm$^2$ for the spin-independent interaction of a 36 GeV/c$^2$ WIMP at 90% confidence level. In this paper, we present a comprehensive analysis of the backgrounds important for this result and for other […]

Cristina Marchetti | Summary: The vertex model of epithelia describes the apical surface of a tissue as a tiling of polygonal cells, with a mechanical energy governed by deviations in cell shape from preferred, or […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert Rosner| First 5 Authors: Robin Y. Engel, Robin Y. Engel, , , | Summary:The pulse intensity from X-ray free-electron lasers (FELs) can create extreme excitation densities in solids, entering the regime of non-linear X-ray-matter interactions. We show L3-edge absorption spectra of metallic nickel thin films with fluences entering a regime where several […]
Kavli Affiliate: John Reynolds | Authors: Courtney Glavis-Bloom, Casey R Vanderlip, Sammy Weiser Novak, Masaaki Kuwajima, Lyndsey Kirk, Uri Manor, Kristen M Harris and John H Reynolds | Summary: ABSTRACT Working memory relies critically on the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC). Morphology and function of the dlPFC, and corresponding working memory performance, are affected early in […]

Vogelstein | Summary: Abstract Comparing connectomes can help explain how neural connectivity is related to genetics, disease, development, learning, and behavior. However, making statistical inferences about the significance and nature of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nathan Lewis | Summary:The diverse metabolic pathways are fundamental to all living organisms, as they harvest energy, synthesize biomass components, produce molecules to interact with the microenvironment, and neutralize toxins. While discovery of new metabolites and pathways continues, the prediction of pathways for new metabolites can be challenging. It can take vast amounts […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Yan Cui, Yan Cui, , , | Summary: In this paper, we investigate the null controllability of nonlinear wave systems. Initially, we employ a combination of the Galerkin method and a fixed point theorem to establish the null controllability for semi-linear wave equations with nonlinear functions that […]
Kavli Affiliate: Simeon Hellerman | Summary:We study the large-charge sector of large-N fermionic CFTs in three dimensions. Depending on the model and the nature of the fixed charge, we find two types of descriptions: in terms of a superfluid or a Fermi sphere. We explicitly compute the conformal dimensions of the lowest operator of fixed […]
