Observable CMB B-modes from Cosmological Phase Transitions

Kavli Affiliate: Gordan Krnjaic | First 5 Authors: Kylar Greene, Aurora Ireland, Gordan Krnjaic, Yuhsin Tsai, | Summary: A B-mode polarization signal in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) is widely regarded as smoking gun evidence for gravitational waves produced during inflation. Here we demonstrate that tensor perturbations from a cosmological phase transition can produce a […]

Neural Network Prediction of Strong Lensing Systems with Domain Adaptation and Uncertainty Quantification

Kavli Affiliate: Brian D. Nord | First 5 Authors: Shrihan Agarwal, Aleksandra Ćiprijanović, Brian D. Nord, , | Summary: Modeling strong gravitational lenses is computationally expensive for the complex data from modern and next-generation cosmic surveys. Deep learning has emerged as a promising approach for finding lenses and predicting lensing parameters, such as the Einstein […]

Is the low-energy optical absorption in correlated insulators controlled by quantum geometry?

Kavli Affiliate: Debanjan Chowdhury | First 5 Authors: Dan Mao, Juan Felipe Mendez-Valderrama, Debanjan Chowdhury, , | Summary: Inspired by the discovery of a variety of correlated insulators in the moir’e universe, controlled by interactions projected to a set of isolated bands with a narrow bandwidth, we examine here a partial sum-rule associated with the […]

Early Bright Galaxies from Helium Enhancements in High-Redshift Star Clusters

Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: Harley Katz, Alexander P. Ji, O. Grace Telford, Peter Senchyna, | Summary: The first few cycles of JWST have identified an overabundance of UV-bright galaxies and a general excess of UV luminosity density at $zgtrsim10$ compared to expectations from most (pre-JWST) theoretical models. Moreover, some of […]

LightTransfer: Your Long-Context LLM is Secretly a Hybrid Model with Effortless Adaptation

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Xuan Zhang, Fengzhuo Zhang, Cunxiao Du, Chao Du, Tianyu Pang | Summary: Scaling language models to handle longer contexts introduces substantial memory challenges due to the growing cost of key-value (KV) caches. Motivated by the efficiency gains of hybrid models and the broad availability of pretrained large […]
