Kavli Affiliate: Yasunori Nomura | First 5 Authors: Yasunori Nomura, , , , | Summary: We portray the structure of quantum gravity emerging from recent progress in understanding the quantum mechanics of an evaporating black hole. Quantum gravity admits two different descriptions, based on Euclidean gravitational path integral and a unitarily evolving holographic quantum system, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Daphna Shohamy | Authors: Jonathan Nicholas, Christian Amlang, Chi-Ying Lin, Leila Montaser-Kouhsari, Natasha Desai, Ming-Kai Pan, Sheng-Han Kuo and Daphna Shohamy | Summary: Abstract Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can lead to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) through mechanisms that remain incompletely characterized. Similar to AD, TBI models present with cellular metabolic […]
Kavli Affiliate: Takeo Higuchi | First 5 Authors: Satoshi Higashino, Yuichiro Mori, Yosuke Takubo, Takeo Higuchi, Akimasa Ishikawa | Summary: The technique of weak value amplification, proposed by Aharonov et al. in 1988, has been applied for various fields of physics for the purpose of precision measurement, which is made possible by exploiting the freedom […]

Kavli Affiliate: Renxin Xu | First 5 Authors: Renxin Xu, Xiaoyu Lai, Chengjun Xia, , | Summary: What if normal baryonic matter is compressed so tightly that atomic nuclei come into close contact? This question has been asked since 1930s. The fist answer was presented by Lev Landau whose speculation has been developed, and the […]
Kavli Affiliate: David P. Huenemoerder | First 5 Authors: Joy S. Nichols, Yael Naze, David P. Huenemoerder, Anthony F. J. Moffat, Nathan Miller | Summary: Analysis of the recent long exposure Chandra X-ray observation of the early-type O star zeta Pup shows clear variability with a period previously reported in optical photometric studies. These 813 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hirosi Ooguri | First 5 Authors: Nathan Benjamin, Christoph A. Keller, Hirosi Ooguri, Ida G. Zadeh, | Summary: Motivated by the search for rational points in moduli spaces of two-dimensional conformal field theories, we investigate how points with enhanced symmetry algebras are distributed there. We first study the bosonic sigma-model with $S^1$ target […]
Kavli Affiliate: David N. Spergel | First 5 Authors: Stephon Alexander, Evan McDonough, David N. Spergel, , | Summary: We consider the implications of an ultra-light fermionic dark matter candidate that carries baryon number. This naturally arises if dark matter has a small charge under standard model baryon number whilst having an asymmetry equal and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Albert Stebbins | First 5 Authors: Fengquan Wu, Jixia Li, Shifan Zuo, Xuelei Chen, Santanu Das | Summary: The Tianlai Dish Pathfinder Array is a radio interferometer designed to test techniques for 21~cm intensity mapping in the post-reionization universe as a means for measuring large-scale cosmic structure. It performs drift scans of the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Linhua Jiang | First 5 Authors: Junehyoung Jeon, Rogier Windhorst, Seth H. Cohen, Rolf A. Jansen, Brent M. Smith | Summary: The reionization of the hydrogen in the Universe is thought to have completed by redshift $zsimeq5.5-6$. To probe this era, galaxy observations in the Subaru Deep Field (SDF) have identified more than […]
