Zariski-dense deformations of standard discontinuous groups for pseudo-Riemannian homogeneous spaces

Kavli Affiliate: Toshiyuki Kobayashi | First 5 Authors: Kazuki Kannaka, Kazuki Kannaka, , , | Summary: Let $X=G/H$ be a homogeneous space of a Lie group $G$. When the isotropy subgroup $H$ is non-compact, a discrete subgroup $Gamma$ may fail to act properly discontinuously on $X$. In this article, we address the following question: in […]

Optimising germanium hole spin qubits with a room-temperature magnet

Kavli Affiliate: Menno Veldhorst | First 5 Authors: Cecile X. Yu, Cecile X. Yu, , , | Summary: Germanium spin qubits exhibit strong spin-orbit interaction, which allow for high-fidelity qubit control, but also provide a strong dependence on the magnetic field. Superconducting vector magnets are often used to minimize dephasing due to hyperfine interactions and […]

Evidence of topological Kondo insulating state in MoTe2/WSe2 moiré bilayers

Kavli Affiliate: Jie Shan | First 5 Authors: Zhongdong Han, Zhongdong Han, , , | Summary: Topological Kondo insulators (TKIs) are topologically protected insulating states induced not by single-particle band inversions, but by the Kondo interaction between itinerant electrons and a lattice of local magnetic moments. Although experiments have suggested the emergence of three-dimensional (3D) […]

What Sets the Metallicity of Ultra-Faint Dwarfs?

Kavli Affiliate: Andrey Kravtsov | First 5 Authors: Vance Wheeler, Vance Wheeler, , , | Summary: We use intergalactic medium (IGM) metallicity distributions from several state-of-the-art cosmological simulations of Milky Way analogs and a semi-analytic model of ultra-faint dwarf galaxy (UFD) formation to model the stellar metallicities of UFDs in MW-like environments. We study simulations […]

Ptbp1 is not required for retinal neurogenesis and cell fate specification.

Kavli Affiliate: Seth Blackshaw | Authors: Haley Appel, Rogger Carmen-Orozco, Clayton Santiago, Thanh Hoang and Seth Blackshaw | Summary: The RNA-binding protein Ptbp1 has been proposed as a master regulator of neuronal fate, repressing neurogenesis through its effects on alternative splicing and miRNA maturation. While prior studies using RNA interference suggested that Ptbp1 loss promotes […]

Bayesian frequency estimation at the fundamental quantum limit

Kavli Affiliate: Lee McCuller | First 5 Authors: James W. Gardner, James W. Gardner, , , | Summary: Searching for a weak signal at an unknown frequency is a canonical task in experiments probing fundamental physics such as gravitational-wave observatories and ultra-light dark matter haloscopes. These state-of-the-art sensors are limited by quantum noise arising from […]
