Lacing topological orders in two dimensions: exactly solvable models for Kitaev’s sixteen-fold way

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Jin-Tao Jin, Jian-Jian Miao, Yi Zhou, , | Summary: A family of two-dimensional (2D) spin-1/2 models have been constructed to realize Kitaev’s sixteen-fold way of anyon theories. Defining a one-dimensional (1D) path through all the lattice sites, and performing the Jordan-Wigner transformation with the help of the […]

Impact of Anisotropic Birefringence on Measuring Cosmic Microwave Background Lensing

Kavli Affiliate: Toshiya Namikawa | First 5 Authors: Hongbo Cai, Yilun Guan, Toshiya Namikawa, Arthur Kosowsky, | Summary: The power spectrum of cosmic microwave background lensing is a powerful tool for constraining fundamental physics such as the sum of neutrino masses and the dark energy equation of state. Current lensing measurements primarily come from distortions […]

Local and Covariant Flow Relations for OPE Coefficients in Lorentzian Spacetimes

Kavli Affiliate: Robert M. Wald | First 5 Authors: Mark G. Klehfoth, Robert M. Wald, , , | Summary: For Euclidean quantum field theories, Holland and Hollands have shown operator product expansion (OPE) coefficients satisfy "flow equations": For interaction parameter $lambda$, the partial derivative of any OPE coefficient with respect to $lambda$ is given by […]

Photoacoustic vector tomography for deep hemodynamic imaging

Kavli Affiliate: Lihong V. Wang | First 5 Authors: Yang Zhang, Joshua Olick-Gibson, Anjul Khadria, Lihong V. Wang, | Summary: Non-invasive imaging of deep blood vessels for mapping hemodynamics remains an open quest in biomedical optical imaging. Although pure optical imaging techniques offer rich optical contrast of blood and have been reported to measure blood […]

Neuromodulatory silencing of nerve terminals

Kavli Affiliate: Timothy A. Ryan | Authors: Daniel Charles Cook and Timothy Aidan Ryan | Summary: Abstract Control of neurotransmission efficacy is central to theories of how the brain computes and stores information. Neuromodulators are critical in this problem as they locally influence synaptic strength and can operate on a wide range of time scales. […]

Cortico-cortical and hippocampo-cortical co-rippling are facilitated by thalamo-cortical spindles and upstates, but not by thalamic ripples

Kavli Affiliate: Eric Halgren | Authors: Charles W Dickey, Ilya A Verzhbinsky, Sophie Kajfez, Burke Q Rosen, Sandipan Pati and Eric Halgren | Summary: Abstract The co-occurrence of brief ~90 Hz oscillations (co-ripples) may be important in integrating information across the cortex and hippocampus, essential for sleep consolidation, and cognition in general. However, how such […]
