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 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Naoki Yasuda | First 5 Authors: Akira Tokiwa, Masahiro Takada, Tian Qiu, Naoki Yasuda, Yutaka Komiyama | Summary: We use the Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) data to study structural parameters and systemic proper motion of the Sextans dwarf spheroidal galaxy at the heliocentric distance of 86 kpc, which is one of the most […]

Kavli Affiliate: Paul L. McEuen | First 5 Authors: Yanxin Ji, Alejandro J. Cortese, Conrad L. Smart, Alyosha C. Molnar, Paul L. McEuen | Summary: We present a general transfer method for the heterogeneous integration of different photonic and electronic materials systems and devices onto a single substrate. Called BLAST, for Bond, Lift, Align, and […]
Kavli Affiliate: David N. Spergel | First 5 Authors: Daniel A. Yahalomi, Ruth Angus, David N. Spergel, Daniel Foreman-Mackey, | Summary: Earth-mass exoplanets on year-long orbits and cool gas giants (CGG) on decade-long orbits lie at the edge of current detection limits. The Terra Hunting Experiment (THE) will take nightly radial velocity (RV) observations on […]
Kavli Affiliate: Cheng Peng | First 5 Authors: Li-Mei Chen, Tyler D. Ellison, Meng Cheng, Peng Ye, Ji-Yao Chen | Summary: We study a $mathbb{Z}_3$ Kitaev model on the honeycomb lattice with nearest neighbor interactions. Based on matrix product state simulations and symmetry considerations, we find evidence that, with ferromagnetic isotropic couplings, the model realizes […]

Kavli Affiliate: Ulrich Sperhake | First 5 Authors: Roxana Rosca-Mead, Michalis Agathos, Christopher J. Moore, Ulrich Sperhake, | Summary: In massive scalar-tensor gravity, core-collapse supernovae are strong sources of scalar-polarized gravitational waves. These can be detectable out to large distance. The dispersive nature of the propagation of waves in the massive scalar field mean the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lindsey Bleem | First 5 Authors: Danila Korytov, Esteban Rangel, Lindsey Bleem, Nicholas Frontiere, Salman Habib | Summary: The galaxy distribution in dark matter-dominated halos is expected to approximately trace the details of the underlying dark matter substructure. In this paper we introduce halo `core-tracking’ as a way to efficiently follow the small-scale […]
