Evolutionary Paths of Active Galactic Nuclei and Their Host Galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Ming-Yang Zhuang, Luis C. Ho, , , | Summary: The tight correlations between the masses of supermassive black holes (BHs) and the properties of their host galaxies suggest that BHs coevolve with galaxies. However, what is the link between BH mass ($M_{rm BH}$) and the properties […]

Detecting a long lived false vacuum with quantum quenches

Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Gianluca Lagnese, Federica Maria Surace, Sid Morampudi, Frank Wilczek, | Summary: Distinguishing whether a system supports alternate low-energy (locally stable) states — stable (true vacuum) versus metastable (false vacuum) — by direct observation can be difficult when the lifetime of the state is very long but otherwise […]

Estimating the Total Variance Explained by Whole-Brain Imaging for Zero-inflated Outcomes

Kavli Affiliate: Wesley Thompson | Authors: Junting Ren, Robert John Loughnan, Bohan Xu, Wesley K. Thompson and Chun Chieh Fan | Summary: Zero-inflated outcomes are very common in behavioral data, particularly for responses to psychological questionnaires. Modeling these challenging distributions is further exacerbated by the absence of established statistical models capable of characterizing total signals […]
