Entanglement asymmetry and symmetry defects in boundary conformal field theory

Kavli Affiliate: Hirosi Ooguri | Summary:A state in a quantum system with a given global symmetry, $G$, can be sensitive to the presence of boundaries, which may either preserve or break this symmetry. In this work, we investigate how conformal invariant boundary conditions influence the $G-$symmetry breaking through the lens of the entanglement asymmetry, a […]

Nuclear DNA replication in Leishmania major relies on a single constitutive origin per chromosome supplemented by thousands of stochastic initiation events

Kavli Affiliate: Gabriel Silva | Authors: Jeziel D Damasceno, Gabriel LA Silva, Catarina A Marques, Marija Krasilnikova, Craig Lapsley, Dario Beraldi and Richard McCulloch | Summary: Understanding genome duplication requires characterisation of the locations where DNA replication initiates, termed origins. Genome-wide mapping of DNA replication origins has mainly been derived from population-based techniques, with only […]

Coherent Magneto-Conductance Oscillations in Amorphous Topological Insulator Nanowires

Kavli Affiliate: Joel E. Moore | First 5 Authors: Siddhant Mal, Elizabeth J. Dresselhaus, Joel E. Moore, , | Summary: Recent experiments on amorphous materials have established the existence of surface states similar to those of crystalline three-dimensional topological insulators (TIs). Amorphous topological insulators are also independently of interest for thermo-electric and other properties. To […]

Tidally distorted stars are triaxial pulsators

Kavli Affiliate: Saul Rappaport | Summary:Stars in close binaries are tidally distorted, and this has a strong effect on their pulsation modes. We compute the mode frequencies and geometries of tidally distorted stars using perturbation theory, accounting for the effects of the Coriolis force and the coupling between different azimuthal orders $m$ of a multiplet […]

2D Theoretically Twistable Material Database

Kavli Affiliate: Jie Shan | First 5 Authors: Yi Jiang, Urko Petralanda, Grigorii Skorupskii, Qiaoling Xu, Hanqi Pi | Summary: The study of twisted two-dimensional (2D) materials, where twisting layers create moir’e superlattices, has opened new opportunities for investigating topological phases and strongly correlated physics. While systems such as twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) and twisted […]

CropCraft: Complete Structural Characterization of Crop Plants From Images

Kavli Affiliate: Li Xin Li| First 5 Authors: [#item_custom_name[1, [#item_custom_name[2, [#item_custom_name[3, [#item_custom_name[4, [#item_custom_name[5| Summary:The ability to automatically build 3D digital twins of plants from images has countless applications in agriculture, environmental science, robotics, and other fields. However, current 3D reconstruction methods fail to recover complete shapes of plants due to heavy occlusion and complex geometries. […]

Asymptotic Analysis of IMEX-RK Methods for ES-BGK Model at Navier-Stokes level

Kavli Affiliate: Hsiao-Mei (Sherry) Cho| First 5 Authors: [#item_custom_name[1, [#item_custom_name[2, [#item_custom_name[3, [#item_custom_name[4, [#item_custom_name[5| Summary:Implicit-explicit Runge-Kutta (IMEX-RK) time discretization methods are very popular when solving stiff kinetic equations. In [21], an asymptotic analysis shows that a specific class of high-order IMEX-RK schemes can accurately capture the Navier-Stokes limit without needing to resolve the small scales dictated […]

A Recent Supermassive Black Hole Binary in the Galactic Center Unveiled by the Hypervelocity Stars

Kavli Affiliate: Fukun Liu| Summary: When a binary of early-type stars from the young stellar populations in the Galactic center (GC) region is scattered to the vicinity of the supermassive black hole (SMBH) Sgr~$rmA^*$, one of the components would be tidally ejected as an early-type hypervelocity star (HVS) and the counterpart would be captured on […]
