Vector field multiplier operators and matrix-valued kernel quasi-interpolation

Posted by klaurent UCAS

Kavli Affiliate: Biao Huang | Summary:We develop and analyze a class of matrix-valued spherical-convolution kernels stemming from scaled zonal functions on $mathbbS^2,$ the unit sphere embedded in $mathbbR^3$. The construct of these kernels utilizes the Legendre differential equation and requires less stringent regularity conditions on the original zonal kernels. The induced integral operators are simple […]

Tunable Interlayer Charge-transfer States in MoSe$_2$/WS$_2$ Moiré Superlattices

Posted by klaurent Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Archana Raja| Summary:Moiré superlattices formed by transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) heterobilayers provide a versatile platform for studying strongly correlated electronic, excitonic, and topological phenomena in solids. In particular, angle-aligned MoSe$_2$/WS$_2$ heterobilayers, which have a Type-I band alignment at zero vertical electric field, host rich correlated spin and charge physics. Here, combining large-scale first-principles […]

Nonthermal leptogenesis via cosmological gravitational particle production is tested by inflationary gravitational waves

Posted by klaurent Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Edward Kolb | Summary:We explore the coincidence of scales between cosmic inflation and right-handed neutrinos in seesaw models. We show that inflation models, which will be tested by next-generation CMB experiments, can produce right-handed neutrinos in sufficient abundance to explain the observed baryon asymmetry of the universe. The model can be tested by […]

No model-independent evidence for a peak in binary black hole spin (mis)alignments

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Salvatore Vitale | Summary:The degree of black-hole spin-orbit misalignment ("tilts") in the astrophysical population could be a powerful diagnostic to distinguish between binary formation in isolation, in dynamical environments, or in hierarchical triples. However, robust population-level spin tilt measurements are complicated by model misspecification as well as numerical and Poisson variance, ultimately owing […]

Competing nonlinearities, criticality, and order-to-chaos transition in deep networks

Posted by klaurent Cornell

Kavli Affiliate: Debanjan Chowdhury | Summary:Deep neural networks owe their expressive power to nonlinear activation functions. The effective field theory of signal propagation at initialization reveals a few distinct universality classes of activations that exhibit different depth scaling. Tuning across these, especially with analytical control, is an open problem. We show that a statistical mixture […]

Accumulation of neural state transitions in dorsomedial striatum predicts patch foraging decisions

Posted by dbos Hopkins

Kavli Affiliate: Marshall Hussain Shuler | Authors: Elissa Sutlief, Shichen Zhang, Kate Forsberg and Marshall G Hussain Shuler | Summary: Activities with temporally distributed returns require deciding not only what to do, but when to stop. Although optimal foraging theory predicts that patch departure should depend on the total time invested in a patch, behavior […]

Little red dots as obscured little blue dots: relative abundances, luminosities, and black-hole masses

Posted by klaurent Cambridge

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | Summary:We test whether “little red dots” (LRDs) are the dust-reddened, high-inclination counterparts of bluer compact broad-line active galactic nuclei, here referred to as “little blue dots” (LBDs), by modeling their relative number densities and luminosities. Using the observed UV luminosity function (LF) of broad-line active galactic nuclei (BLAGNs) at z>4 […]

Notch-driven fate asymmetry dictates hair cell behavior via a fate-specific kinase

Posted by dbos Rockefeller

Kavli Affiliate: A. James Hudspeth | Authors: Emily Atlas, Caleb C. Reagor, Brian Frost, Sapna Krishnakumar, A. J. Hudspeth and Adrian Jacobo | Summary: Cell-cell signaling and cell-fate decisions are essential for organ assembly, but how these molecular events translate into the physical properties and cell behaviors that drive development remains poorly understood. In the […]
