Flavor Symmetry and Proton Decay in PeV-Scale Supersymmetry

Kavli Affiliate: Satoshi Shirai | First 5 Authors: Akifumi Chitose, Akifumi Chitose, , , | Summary: Supersymmetry beyond the TeV scale offers several theoretical and phenomenological advantages, such as accommodating the observed Higgs mass and alleviating the flavor and CP problems. However, flavor and CP observables still impose stringent constraints even at the PeV scale, […]

Ultra High-Resolution Image Inpainting with Patch-Based Content Consistency Adapter

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Jianhui Zhang, Jianhui Zhang, , , | Summary: In this work, we present Patch-Adapter, an effective framework for high-resolution text-guided image inpainting. Unlike existing methods limited to lower resolutions, our approach achieves 4K+ resolution while maintaining precise content consistency and prompt alignment, two critical challenges in image […]

Colossal Cryogenic Electro-Optic Response Through Metastability in Strained BaTiO$_3$ Thin Films

Kavli Affiliate: Darrell G. Schlom | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: The search for thin film electro-optic (EO) materials that can retain superior performance under cryogenic conditions has become critical for quantum computing. Barium titanate thin films show large linear EO coefficients in the tetragonal phase at room temperature, which is […]

Instantons on ALE spaces for classical groups, involutions on quiver varieties, and quantum symmetric pairs

Kavli Affiliate: Hiraku Nakajima | First 5 Authors: Hiraku Nakajima, Hiraku Nakajima, , , | Summary: Moduli spaces of instantons on ALE spaces for classical groups are examples of fixed point sets of involutions on quiver varieties, i.e., $sigma$-quiver varieties. In 2018 Yiqiang Li considered their equivariant cohomology, and by stable envelope of Maulik-Okounkov, constructed […]

When Tiny Halos Stir Spacetime: Gravitational Waves from Fifth-Force Mergers

Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | First 5 Authors: Xinpeng Wang, Xinpeng Wang, , , | Summary: Dark matter fermions interacting via attractive fifth forces mediated by a light mediator can form dark matter halos in the very early universe. We show that bound systems composed of these halos are capable of generating gravitational wave (GW) […]
