Screen-based 3D Subjective Experiment Software

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Songlin Fan, Wei Gao, , , | Summary: Recently, widespread 3D graphics (e.g., point clouds and meshes) have drawn considerable efforts from academia and industry to assess their perceptual quality by conducting subjective experiments. However, lacking a handy software for 3D subjective experiments complicates the construction of […]

Carnegie Supernova Project-I and -II: Measurements of $H_0$ using Cepheid, TRGB, and SBF Distance Calibration to Type Ia Supernovae

Kavli Affiliate: Wendy L. Freedman | First 5 Authors: Syed A. Uddin, Christopher R. Burns, Mark M. Phillips, Nicholas B. Suntzeff, Wendy L. Freedman | Summary: We present an analysis of Type Ia Supernovae (SNe~Ia) from both the Carnegie Supernova Project~I (CSP-I) and II (CSP-II), and extend the Hubble diagram from the optical to the […]

Supermassive Primordial Black Holes From Inflation

Kavli Affiliate: Albert Stebbins | First 5 Authors: Dan Hooper, Aurora Ireland, Gordan Krnjaic, Albert Stebbins, | Summary: There is controversy surrounding the origin and evolution of our universe’s largest supermassive black holes (SMBHs). In this study, we consider the possibility that some of these black holes formed from the direct collapse of primordial density […]

Reinforcement Learning for Sequential Decoding of Generalized LDPC Codes

Kavli Affiliate: Salman Habib | First 5 Authors: Salman Habib, David G. M. Mitchell, , , | Summary: In this work, we propose reinforcement learning (RL) for sequential decoding of moderate length generalized low-density parity-check (GLDPC) codes. Here, sequential decoding refers to scheduling all the generalized constraint nodes (GCNs) and single parity-check nodes (SPCNs) of […]

Non-Supersymmetric Heterotic Strings on a Circle

Kavli Affiliate: Savdeep Sethi | First 5 Authors: Bernardo Fraiman, Mariana Graña, Héctor Parra De Freitas, Savdeep Sethi, | Summary: Motivated by a recent construction of non-supersymmetric $text{AdS}_3$, we revisit the $O(16)times O(16)$ heterotic string compactified on a torus. The string one-loop potential energy has interesting dependence on the classical moduli; extrema of this potential […]
