Kavli Affiliate: Mikhail Kapranov | Summary:We propose a point of view on resurgence theory based on the study of perverse sheaves on the complex line carrying an algebraic structure with respect to additive convolution. In particular, we lift the concept of alien derivatives introduced originally by J. Écalle, to the framework of perverse sheaves and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Winrich Freiwald | Authors: Lucas Y Tian, Kedar Garzón Gupta, Daniel J. Hanuska, Adam G Rouse, Mark AG Eldridge, Marc H Schieber, Xiao-Jing Wang, Joshua B Tenenbaum and Winrich A Freiwald | Summary: A hallmark of intelligence is proficiency in solving new problems, including those that differ dramatically from problems seen before. Problem-solving, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao| Summary:Agentic Reinforcement Learning (RL) trains LLMs through multi-turn interactions with environments, producing workloads that mix compute-bound prefill, bandwidth-bound decoding, CPU-heavy environment execution, and bursty reward evaluation. Existing systems either colocate all stages on a single GPU cluster or decouple them only at a coarse granularity, overlooking hardware heterogeneity and incurring substantial […]
Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | Summary:Black hole relics are of significant interest in cosmology and theoretical physics. In this work, we consider tiny primordial black holes (PBHs) ( $M_text PBH lesssim 10^7 mathrm~g$ ) which are generated soon after the end of inflation and evaporate and reheat the Universe before big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN), but […]
Kavli Affiliate: Scott K. Cushing | Summary:Superionic conduction in solid-state materials is governed not only by static factors, such as structure and composition, but also by dynamic interactions between the mobile ion and the crystal lattice. Specifically, the dynamics of lattice vibrations, or phonons, have attracted interest because of their hypothesized ability to facilitate fast […]
