The interplay between accretion, galaxy downsizing and the formation of box/peanut bulges in TNG50

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Stuart Robert Anderson, Steven Gough-Kelly, Victor P. Debattista, Min Du, Peter Erwin | Summary: From the TNG50 cosmological simulation we build a sample of 191 well-resolved barred galaxies with a stellar mass $log M_star > 10$ at $z=0$. We search for box/peanut bulges (BPs) in this sample, […]

A “morphogenetic action” principle for 3D shape formation by the growth of thin sheets

Kavli Affiliate: Boris I. Shraiman | First 5 Authors: Dillon J. Cislo, Anastasios Pavlopoulos, Boris I. Shraiman, , | Summary: How does growth encode form in developing organisms? Many different spatiotemporal growth profiles may sculpt tissues into the same target 3D shapes, but only specific growth patterns are observed in animal and plant development. In […]

Remarks on mod-2 elliptic genus

Kavli Affiliate: Yuji Tachikawa | First 5 Authors: Yuji Tachikawa, Mayuko Yamashita, Kazuya Yonekura, , | Summary: For physicists: For supersymmetric quantum mechanics, there are cases when a mod-2 Witten index can be defined, even when a more ordinary $mathbb{Z}$-valued Witten index vanishes. Similarly, for 2d supersymmetric quantum field theories, there are cases when a […]
