Formation Rate of Quasi-periodic Eruptions in Galactic Nuclei Containing Single and Dual Supermassive Black Holes

Kavli Affiliate: Xian Chen | First 5 Authors: Chunyang Cao, F. K. Liu, Xian Chen, Shuo Li, | Summary: Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are a novel class of transients recently discovered in a few extragalactic nuclei. It has been suggested that a QPE can be produced by a main-sequence star undergoing repeated partial disruptions by the […]

Fractionalized Kohn-Sham ansatz for strongly-correlated electrons

Kavli Affiliate: Zheng Zhu | First 5 Authors: Bo Zhao, Jingyu Zhao, Zheng Zhu, Jian Wu, Zheng Liu | Summary: We propose to expand the territory of density functional theory to strongly-correlated electrons by reformulating the Kohn-Sham ansatz in the representation of fractionalized particles. We call it the ”KS* ansatz”. Using inhomogeneous t-J chains as […]

Robust characterization of selectivity of individual neurons to distinct task-relevant behavioral states using calcium imaging

Kavli Affiliate: Shreesh P. Mysore | Authors: Huixin Huang, Garima Shah, Hita Adwanikar and Shreesh Mysore | Summary: Investigations into the neural basis of behavior have recently employed fluorescence imaging of calcium dynamics in a variety of brain areas to measure neural responses. However, across studies, diverse and seemingly subjective methodological choices have been made […]

Mapping cis- and trans-regulatory target genes of human-specific deletions

Kavli Affiliate: Alex Pollen | Authors: Tyler Fair, Bryan J Pavlovic, Dani Swope, Octavio E Castillo, Nathan K Schaefer and Alex Aaron Pollen | Summary: Deletion of functional sequence is predicted to represent a fundamental mechanism of molecular evolution. Comparative genetic studies of primates have identified thousands of human-specific deletions (hDels), and the cis-regulatory potential […]

Multi-Agent System for Cosmological Parameter Analysis

Kavli Affiliate: Blake Sherwin | First 5 Authors: Andrew Laverick, Kristen Surrao, Inigo Zubeldia, Boris Bolliet, Miles Cranmer | Summary: Multi-agent systems (MAS) utilizing multiple Large Language Model agents with Retrieval Augmented Generation and that can execute code locally may become beneficial in cosmological data analysis. Here, we illustrate a first small step towards AI-assisted […]

A gravitational wave detectable candidate Type Ia supernova progenitor

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Emma T. Chickles, Kevin B. Burdge, Joheen Chakraborty, Vik S. Dhillon, Paul Draghis | Summary: Type Ia supernovae, critical for studying cosmic expansion, arise from thermonuclear explosions of white dwarfs, but their precise progenitor pathways remain unclear. Growing evidence supports the “double-degenerate” scenario, where two white dwarfs […]
