Kavli Affiliate: Ulrich Wiesner | First 5 Authors: Cédric Kilchoer, Narjes Abdollahi, James A. Dolan, Doha Abdelrahman, Matthias Saba | Summary: Over the past two decades, metamaterials have led to an increasing number of biosensing and nanophotonic applications due to the possibility of a careful control of light propagating through subwavelength features. Chiral nanostructures (characterized […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alexey Bondal | First 5 Authors: Agnieszka Bodzenta, Alexey Bondal, , , | Summary: We define the functor $textrm{ncDef}_{(Z_1,ldots,Z_n)}$ of non-commutative deformations of an $n$-tuple of objects in an arbitrary $k$-linear abelian category $mathcal{Z}$. In our categorified approach, we view the underlying spaces of infinitesimal flat deformations as Deligne finite categories, i.e. finite […]
Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Challinor | First 5 Authors: Anirban Roy, Girish Kulkarni, P. Daniel Meerburg, Anthony Challinor, Carlo Baccigalupi | Summary: The search for primordial gravitational waves through the $B$-mode polarization pattern in the CMB is one of the major goals of current and future CMB experiments. Besides foregrounds, a potential hurdle in this search […]
Kavli Affiliate: Edward Chang | Authors: Yulia Oganian, Katsuaki Kojima, Assaf Breska, Chang Cai, Anne Findlay, Edward F Chang and Srikantan Nagarajan | Summary: Abstract The amplitude envelope of speech is crucial for accurate comprehension. Considered a key stage in speech processing, the phase of neural activity in the theta-delta bands (1 – 10 Hz) […]
Kavli Affiliate: Philip J. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Alessandro Sonnenfeld, Aprajita Verma, Anupreeta More, Elisabeth Baeten, Christine Macmillan | Summary: Strong lenses are extremely useful probes of the distribution of matter on galaxy and cluster scales at cosmological distances, but are rare and difficult to find. The number of currently known lenses is on […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Mohamed Naveed Gul Mohamed, Suman Chakravorty, Raman Goyal, Ran Wang, | Summary: We consider the problem of nonlinear stochastic optimal control. This problem is thought to be fundamentally intractable owing to Bellman’s infamous "curse of dimensionality". We present a result that shows that repeatedly solving an open-loop […]
Kavli Affiliate: Todor Milanov | First 5 Authors: Todor Milanov, Chenghan Zha, , , | Summary: We compute the image of the Milnor lattice of an ADE singularity under a period map. We also prove that the Milnor latticecan be identified with an appropriate relative $K$-group defined through the Berglund-H"ubsch dual of the corresponding singularity. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Matthew P. A. Fisher | First 5 Authors: Yaodong Li, Xiao Chen, Andreas W. W. Ludwig, Matthew P. A. Fisher, | Summary: We establish the emergence of a conformal field theory (CFT) in a (1+1)-dimensional hybrid quantum circuit right at the measurement-driven entanglement transition by revealing space-time conformal covariance of entanglement entropies and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mihoko M. Nojiri | First 5 Authors: Amit Chakraborty, Sung Hak Lim, Mihoko M. Nojiri, Michihisa Takeuchi, | Summary: Deep neural networks trained on jet images have been successful in classifying different kinds of jets. In this paper, we identify the crucial physics features that could reproduce the classification performance of the convolutional […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yuji Tachikawa | First 5 Authors: Chang-Tse Hsieh, Yuji Tachikawa, Kazuya Yonekura, , | Summary: Chiral and non-chiral $p$-form gauge fields have gravitational anomalies and anomalies of Green-Schwarz type. This means that they are most naturally realized as the boundary modes of bulk topological phases in one higher dimensions. We give a systematic […]
