Encoding manifolds constructed from grating responses organize responses to natural scenes in cortical visual areas

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Stryker | Authors: Luciano Dyballa, Greg D Field, Michael P Stryker and Steven W Zucker | Summary: We have created “encoding manifolds” to reveal the overall responses of a brain area to a variety of stimuli. Encoding manifolds organize response properties globally: each point on an encoding manifold is a neuron, and […]

Improving Galaxy Cluster Selection with the Outskirt Stellar Mass of Galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Eli Rykoff | First 5 Authors: Matthew Kwiecien, Tesla Jeltema, Alexie Leauthaud, Song Huang, Eli Rykoff | Summary: The number density and redshift evolution of optically selected galaxy clusters offer an independent measurement of the amplitude of matter fluctuations, $S_8$. However, recent results have shown that clusters chosen by the redMaPPer algorithm show […]

A Two-Week $IXPE$ Monitoring Campaign on Mrk 421

Kavli Affiliate: Nicola Omodei | First 5 Authors: W. Peter Maksym, Ioannis Liodakis, M. Lynne Saade, Dawoon E. Kim, Riccardo Middei | Summary: X-ray polarization is a unique new probe of the particle acceleration in astrophysical jets made possible through the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer. Here we report on the first dense X-ray polarization monitoring […]

Counting Ability of Large Language Models and Impact of Tokenization

Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Xiang Zhang, Juntai Cao, Chenyu You, , | Summary: Transformers, the backbone of modern large language models (LLMs), face inherent architectural limitations that impede their reasoning capabilities. Unlike recurrent networks, Transformers lack recurrent connections, confining them to constant-depth computation. This restriction places them in the complexity class […]

Observation of Quantum Criticality Class Crossover at the LaAlO$_3$/KTaO$_3$ (111) Interface

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Jia Liu, Long Cheng, Junkun Zha, Fei Ye, Xiaofang Zhai | Summary: In two-dimensional (2D) limit, the quantum fluctuation is significantly enhanced which could induce a quantum phase transition. Investigating the quantum criticality is an effective approach to elucidate the underlying physics of 2D superconductivity. Here we […]

Modeling the Superlattice Phase Diagram of Transition Metal Intercalation in Bilayer 2H-TaS$_2$

Kavli Affiliate: David T. Limmer | First 5 Authors: Isaac M. Craig, B. Junsuh Kim, David T. Limmer, D. Kwabena Bediako, SinĂ©ad M. Griffin | Summary: Van der Waals hosts intercalated with transition metal (TM) ions exhibit a range of magnetic properties strongly influenced by the structural order of the intercalants. However, predictive computational models […]

Resurgence of $Tbar{T}$-deformed Partition Function

Kavli Affiliate: Huajia Wang | First 5 Authors: Jie Gu, Yunfeng Jiang, Huajia Wang, , | Summary: We study non-perturbative effects of torus partition function of the $Tbar{T}$-deformed 2d CFTs by resurgence. The deformed partition function can be written as an infinite series of the deformation parameter $lambda$. We develop highly efficient methods to compute […]

The LAMOST Spectroscopic Survey of Supergiants in M31 and M33

Kavli Affiliate: Huawei Zhang | First 5 Authors: Hao Wu, Yang Huang, Huawei Zhang, Haibo Yuan, Zhiying Huo | Summary: We present systematic identifications of supergiants of M31/M33 based on massive LAMOST spectroscopic survey. Radial velocities of nearly 5000 photometrically selected M31/M33 supergiant candidates have been properly derived from the qualified spectra released in LAMOST […]
