Modeling the Galaxy Distribution in Clusters using Halo Cores

Kavli Affiliate: Salman Habib | First 5 Authors: Danila Korytov, Esteban Rangel, Lindsey Bleem, Nicholas Frontiere, Salman Habib | Summary: The galaxy distribution in dark matter-dominated halos is expected to approximately trace the details of the underlying dark matter substructure. In this paper we introduce halo `core-tracking’ as a way to efficiently follow the small-scale […]

Variational Tensor Wavefunctions for the Interacting Quantum Spin Hall Phase

Kavli Affiliate: Shenghan Jiang | Summary:The quantum spin hall (QSH) phase, also known as the 2D topological insulator, is characterized by protected helical edge modes arising from time reversal symmetry. While initially proposed for band insulators, this phase can also manifest in strongly-correlated systems where conventional band theory fails. To overcome the challenge of simulating […]
