Kavli Affiliate: Gordan Krnjaic | Summary:The Froggatt-Nielsen (FN) mechanism offers an elegant explanation for the observed masses and mixings of Standard Model fermions. In this work, we systematically study FN models in the lepton sector, identifying a broad range of charge assignments ("textures") that naturally yield viable masses and mixings for various neutrino mass generation […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Zhenpeng Huang, Xinhao Li, Jiaqi Li, Jing Wang, Xiangyu Zeng | Summary: Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have shown significant progress in offline video understanding. However, applying these models to real-world scenarios, such as autonomous driving and human-computer interaction, presents unique challenges due to the need for […]
Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | Summary:Primordial black holes (PBHs) can form from gravitational collapse of large overdensities in the early Universe, giving rise to rich phenomena in astrophysics and cosmology. We develop a novel, general, and systematic method based on theory of density contrast peaks to calculate the abundance of PBHs for a broad power […]
Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | First 5 Authors: Shi Pi, Misao Sasaki, Volodymyr Takhistov, Jianing Wang, | Summary: Primordial Black Holes (PBHs) can form from gravitational collapse of large overdensities in the early Universe, giving rise to rich phenomena in astrophysics and cosmology. We develop a novel, general, and accurate method based on theory of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Wei Chen, Yi Zhou, , , | Summary: In the realm of class-incremental learning (CIL), alleviating the catastrophic forgetting problem is a pivotal challenge. This paper discovers a counter-intuitive observation: by incorporating domain shift into CIL tasks, the forgetting rate is significantly reduced. Our comprehensive studies demonstrate […]
Kavli Affiliate: Austin Joyce | Summary:We study the scalar tidal responses of spinning higher-dimensional black holes, and their effective field theory description. After constructing the effective field theory of a spinning point particle in general dimension, we apply this theory to match the scalar responses of a variety of black hole solutions. In addition to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Daniel R. Wilkins| First 5 Authors: Prabal Saxena, Prabal Saxena, , , | Summary:In this paper, we detail recent and current work that is being carried out to fabricate and advance novel SiC UV instrumentation that is aimed at enabling more sensitive measurements across numerous disciplines, with a short discussion of the promise […]
Kavli Affiliate: Bo Gu | First 5 Authors: Songhan Zhao, Shimin Gong, Bo Gu, Lanhua Li, Bin Lyu | Summary: In this paper, we consider an aerial reconfigurable intelligent surface (ARIS)-assisted wireless network, where multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) collect data from ground users (GUs) by using the non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) method. The ARIS […]
Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Zhengyang Lu, Weifan Wang, Tianhao Guo, Feng Wang, | Summary: Reflections often degrade the visual quality of images captured through transparent surfaces, and reflection removal methods suffers from the shortage of paired real-world samples.This paper proposes a hybrid approach that combines cycle-consistency with denoising diffusion probabilistic models […]
Kavli Affiliate: Toshiyuki Kobayashi | Summary:This article is a record of the lecture at the centennial conference for Harish-Chandra. The admissibility theorem of Harish-Chandra concerns the restrictions of irreducible representations to maximal compact subgroups. In this article, we begin with a brief explanation of two directions for generalizing his pioneering work to itnon-compact reductive subgroups: […]
