Generalized Narain Theories Decoded: Discussions on Eisenstein series, Characteristics, Orbifolds, Discriminants and Ensembles in any Dimension

Posted by dbos Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Masahito Yamazaki | First 5 Authors: Meer Ashwinkumar, Abhiram Kidambi, Jacob M. Leedom, Masahito Yamazaki, | Summary: We study a class of newly-introduced CFTs associated with even quadratic forms of general signature, which we call generalized Narain theories. We first summarize the properties of these theories. We then consider orbifolds of these theories, […]

VaTEST III: Validation of 8 Potential Super-Earths from TESS Data

Posted by dbos MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Avi Shporer | First 5 Authors: Priyashkumar Mistry, Aniket Prasad, Mousam Maity, Kamlesh Pathak, Sarvesh Gharat | Summary: NASA’s all-sky survey mission, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), is specifically engineered to detect exoplanets that transit bright stars. Thus far, TESS has successfully identified approximately 400 transiting exoplanets, in addition to roughly 6000 […]

Improved Planck constraints on axion-like early dark energy as a resolution of the Hubble tension

Posted by dbos Cambridge

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: George Efstathiou, Erik Rosenberg, Vivian Poulin, , | Summary: Axion-like early dark energy (EDE) as an extension to $Lambda$CDM has been proposed as a possible solution to the ‘Hubble tension’. We revisit this model using a new cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature and polarization likelihood constructed from […]

Artificial Intelligence-Facilitated Online Adaptive Proton Therapy Using Pencil Beam Scanning Proton Therapy

Posted by dbos Cornell

Kavli Affiliate: Jie Shan | First 5 Authors: Hongying Feng, Jie Shan, Carlos E. Vargas, Sameer R. Keole, Jean-Claude M. Rwigema | Summary: We propose an oAPT workflow that incorporates all these functionalities and validate its clinical implementation feasibility with prostate patients. AI-based auto-segmentation tool AccuContourTM (Manteia, Xiamen, China) was seamlessly integrated into oAPT. Initial […]
