Cosmic Explorer: A Submission to the NSF MPSAC ngGW Subcommittee

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Zucker | Summary:Gravitational-wave astronomy has revolutionized humanity’s view of the universe, a revolution driven by observations that no other field can make. This white paper describes an observatory that builds on decades of investment by the National Science Foundation and that will drive discovery for decades to come: Cosmic Explorer. Major discoveries […]

Kinetics of the xanthophyll cycle and its role in photoprotective memory and response

Kavli Affiliate: Graham Fleming | Summary:Efficiently balancing photochemistry and photoprotection is crucial for survival and productivity of photosynthetic organisms in the rapidly fluctuating light levels found in natural environments. The ability to respond quickly to sudden changes in light level is clearly advantageous. In the alga Nannochloropsis oceanica we observed an ability to respond rapidly […]

N-spherical functors and categorification of Euler’s continuants

Kavli Affiliate: Mikhail Kapranov | Summary:Euler’s continuants are universal polynomials expressing the numerator and denominator of a finite continued fraction whose entries are independent variables. We introduce their categorical lifts which are natural complexes (more precisely, coherently commutative cubes) of functors involving compositions of a given functor and its adjoints of various orders, with the […]
