Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Zihang Wang, Lijing Shao, , , | Summary: The cosmological constant is not necessarily small in the early universe. If a scalar field obtains a vacuum expectation value after a phase transition (PT), a possibly large cosmological constant could present before PT. The early cosmological constant (ECC) […]
Kavli Affiliate: Subo Dong | First 5 Authors: Andrew Gould, Youn Kil Jung, Kyu-Ha Hwang, Subo Dong, Michael D. Albrow | Summary: We complete the survey for finite-source/point-lens (FSPL) giant-source events in 2016-2019 KMTNet microlensing data. The 30 FSPL events show a clear gap in Einstein radius, $9,mu{rm as}<theta_{rm E} <26,mu{rm as}$, which is consistent […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tom Melia | First 5 Authors: Anne-Katherine Burns, David E. Kaplan, Tom Melia, Surjeet Rajendran, | Summary: The quantum description of time evolution in non-linear gravitational systems such as cosmological space-times is not well understood. We show, in the simplified setting of mini-superspace, that time evolution of this system can be obtained using […]

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Ruichao Yang, Jing Ma, Hongzhan Lin, Wei Gao, | Summary: The diffusion of rumors on microblogs generally follows a propagation tree structure, that provides valuable clues on how an original message is transmitted and responded by users over time. Recent studies reveal that rumor detection and stance […]

Kavli Affiliate: Li Zhao | Authors: Eric B Zheng and Li Zhao | Summary: De novo gene origination, where a previously non-genic genomic sequence becomes genic through evolution, has been increasingly recognized as an important source of evolutionary novelty across diverse taxa. Many de novo genes have been proposed to be protein-coding, and in several […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Young | Authors: Emily N Gallichotte, Mary Nehring, Sophia Stromberg, Michael C Young, Ashley Snell, Joshua B Daniels, Kristy L. Pabilonia, Sue Vandewoude, Nicole Ehrhart and Gregory D Ebel | Summary: SARS-CoV-2 emerged in 2019 and has resulted in millions of deaths worldwide. Certain populations are at higher risk for infection, especially […]
