Cosmological gravitational particle production and its implications for cosmological relics

Kavli Affiliate: Edward W. Kolb | First 5 Authors: Edward W. Kolb, Andrew J. Long, , , | Summary: Cosmological gravitational particle production (CGPP) is the creation of particles in an expanding universe due solely to their gravitational interaction. These particles can play an important role in the cosmic history through their connection to various […]

Point Cloud Semantic Segmentation with Sparse and Inhomogeneous Annotations

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Zhiyi Pan, Nan Zhang, Wei Gao, Shan Liu, Ge Li | Summary: Utilizing uniformly distributed sparse annotations, weakly supervised learning alleviates the heavy reliance on fine-grained annotations in point cloud semantic segmentation tasks. However, few works discuss the inhomogeneity of sparse annotations, albeit it is common in […]

Kinematic Flow and the Emergence of Time

Kavli Affiliate: Austin Joyce | First 5 Authors: Nima Arkani-Hamed, Daniel Baumann, Aaron Hillman, Austin Joyce, Hayden Lee | Summary: Perhaps the most basic question we can ask about cosmological correlations is how their strength changes as we smoothly vary kinematic parameters. The answer is encoded in differential equations that govern this evolution in kinematic […]

Differential Equations for Cosmological Correlators

Kavli Affiliate: Austin Joyce | First 5 Authors: Nima Arkani-Hamed, Daniel Baumann, Aaron Hillman, Austin Joyce, Hayden Lee | Summary: Cosmological fluctuations retain a memory of the physics that generated them in their spatial correlations. The strength of correlations varies smoothly as a function of external kinematics, which is encoded in differential equations satisfied by […]

TOI-4641b: An Aligned Warm Jupiter Orbiting a Bright (V=7.5) Rapidly Rotating F-star

Kavli Affiliate: David Charbonneau | First 5 Authors: Allyson Bieryla, George Zhou, Juliana García-Mejía, Tyler R. Farnington, David W. Latham | Summary: We report the discovery of TOI-4641b, a warm Jupiter transiting a rapidly rotating F-type star with a stellar effective temperature of 6560 K. The planet has a radius of 0.73 $R_{Jup}$, a mass […]

Low-energy optical sum-rule in moiré graphene

Kavli Affiliate: Debanjan Chowdhury | First 5 Authors: J. F. Mendez-Valderrama, Dan Mao, Debanjan Chowdhury, , | Summary: Few layers of graphene at small twist-angles have emerged as a fascinating platform for studying the problem of strong interactions in regimes with a nearly quenched single-particle kinetic energy and non-trivial band topology. Starting from the strong-coupling […]

Inferring host-galaxy properties of LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA’s black holes

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel E. Holz | First 5 Authors: Aditya Vijaykumar, Maya Fishbach, Susmita Adhikari, Daniel E. Holz, | Summary: Observations of gravitational waves from binary black hole (BBH) mergers have measured the redshift evolution of the BBH merger rate. The number density of galaxies in the Universe evolves differently with redshift based on their […]

Do Mini-halos Affect Cosmic Reionization?

Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Y. Gnedin | First 5 Authors: Nickolay Y. Gnedin, , , , | Summary: The role of unresolved structures ("mini-halos") in determining the consumption of ionizing photons during cosmic reionization remains an unsolved problem in modeling cosmic reionization, despite recent extensive studies with small-box high-resolution simulations by Park et al. and Chan […]
