Superradiant instabilities of massive bosons around exotic compact objects

Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Lihang Zhou, Richard Brito, Zhan-Feng Mai, Lijing Shao, | Summary: Superradiantly unstable ultralight particles around a classical rotating black hole (BH) can form an exponentially growing bosonic cloud, which have been shown to provide an astrophysical probe to detect ultralight particles and constrain their mass. However, the […]

Maximally-Localized Exciton Wannier Functions for Solids

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey B. Neaton | First 5 Authors: Jonah B. Haber, Diana Y. Qiu, Felipe H. da Jornada, Jeffrey B. Neaton, | Summary: We introduce a maximally-localized Wannier function representation of Bloch excitons, two-particle correlated electron-hole excitations, in crystalline solids, where the excitons are maximally-localized with respect to an average electron-hole coordinate in real […]

A semi-automated method for quantifying optokinetic reflex tracking acuity

Kavli Affiliate: Alex Kolodkin | Authors: James Kenneth Kiraly, Scott C Harris, Timour Al-Khindi, Felice Dunn and Alex L Kolodkin | Summary: The study of murine behavioral responses to visual stimuli is a key component of understanding mammalian visual circuitry. One notable response is the optokinetic reflex (OKR), a highly conserved innate behavior necessary for […]

The Cepheid Extragalactic Distance Scale: Past, Present and Future

Kavli Affiliate: Wendy L. Freedman | First 5 Authors: Wendy L. Freedman, Barry F. Madore, , , | Summary: Cepheids have been the cornerstone of the extragalactic distance scale for a century. With high-quality data, these luminous supergiants exhibit a small dispersion in their Leavitt (period-luminosity) relation, particularly at longer wavelengths, and few methods rival […]

Fractional revival on semi-Cayley graphs over abelian groups

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Jing Wang, Ligong Wang, Xiaogang Liu, , | Summary: In this paper, we investigate the existence of fractional revival on semi-Cayley graphs over finite abelian groups. We give some necessary and sufficient conditions for semi-Cayley graphs over finite abelian groups admitting fractional revival. We also show that […]
