2D k-th nearest neighbor statistics: a highly informative probe of galaxy clustering

Kavli Affiliate: Tom Abel | First 5 Authors: Sihan Yuan, Alvaro Zamora, Tom Abel, , | Summary: Beyond standard summary statistics are necessary to summarize the rich information on non-linear scales in the era of precision galaxy clustering measurements. For the first time, we introduce the 2D k-th nearest neighbor (kNN) statistics as a summary […]

Measuring the Hubble Constant Using Strongly Lensed Gravitational Wave Signals

Kavli Affiliate: Xian Chen | First 5 Authors: Shun-Jia Huang, Yi-Ming Hu, Xian Chen, Jian-dong Zhang, En-Kun Li | Summary: The measurement of the Hubble constant $H_0$ plays an important role in the study of cosmology. In this letter, we propose a new method to constrain the Hubble constant using the strongly lensed gravitational wave […]

Critical properties of the Majorana chain with competing interactions

Kavli Affiliate: Natalia Chepiga | First 5 Authors: Natalia Chepiga, , , , | Summary: We study critical properties of a Majorana chain in the presence of two competing interactions of the shortest possible range. The obtained phase diagram is very rich and contains nine different phases, including three floating, two Ising, and four gapped […]

New probe of inflationary gravitational waves: cross-correlations of lensed primary CMB B-modes with large-scale structure

Kavli Affiliate: Toshiya Namikawa | First 5 Authors: Toshiya Namikawa, Blake D. Sherwin, , , | Summary: We propose a new probe of inflationary gravitational waves (IGWs): the cross-correlation of the lensing of inflationary $B$-mode polarization with a large-scale structure (LSS) tracer, which can also be a cosmic microwave background (CMB) lensing map. This is […]

Avoiding methane emission rate underestimates when using the divergence method

Kavli Affiliate: Kaisey Mandel | First 5 Authors: Clayton Roberts, Rutger IJzermans, David Randell, Matthew Jones, Philip Jonathan | Summary: Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas, and a primary target for mitigating climate change in the short-term future due to its relatively short atmospheric lifetime and greater ability to trap heat in Earth’s atmosphere compared […]

ACT-DR5 Sunyaev-Zel’dovich Clusters: weak lensing mass calibration with KiDS

Kavli Affiliate: David N. Spergel | First 5 Authors: Naomi Clare Robertson, Cristóbal Sifón, Marika Asgari, Nicholas Battaglia, Maciej Bilicki | Summary: We present weak gravitational lensing measurements of a sample of 157 clusters within the Kilo Degree Survey (KiDS), detected with a $>5sigma$ thermal Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (SZ) signal by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT). Using […]

Dai-Freed anomaly in the standard model and topological inflation

Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Kawasaki | First 5 Authors: Masahiro Kawasaki, Tsutomu T. Yanagida, , , | Summary: When we impose the discrete symmetry in the standard model we have Dai-Freed global anomalies. However, interestingly if we introduce three right-handed neutrinos we can have an anomaly-free discrete $Z_4$ gauge symmetry. This $Z_4$ symmetry should be spontaneously […]
