Kavli Affiliate: Austin Joyce | First 5 Authors: Daniel Baumann, Daniel Baumann, , , | Summary: The representation theory of de Sitter space admits partially massless (PM) particles, but whether such particles can participate in consistent interacting theories remains unclear. We investigate the consistency of theories containing PM fields, particularly when these fields are coupled […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wendy L. Freedman | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: We present a comparative test of four widely used full spectral fitting codes, with the aim of answering the question: how robust is the retrieval of the stellar initial mass function (IMF) and other stellar properties of galaxies? We used […]
Kavli Affiliate: Salman Habib | First 5 Authors: Mohammad Atif, Mohammad Atif, , , | Summary: Next-generation High Energy Physics (HEP) experiments will generate unprecedented data volumes, necessitating High Performance Computing (HPC) integration alongside traditional high-throughput computing. However, HPC adoption in HEP is hindered by the challenge of porting legacy software to heterogeneous architectures and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Salman Habib | First 5 Authors: Salman Habib, Salman Habib, , , | Summary: We propose SPOF (Stabilization of Perturbed Loss Function), a differentially private training mechanism intended for multi-user local differential privacy (LDP). SPOF perturbs a stabilized Taylor expanded polynomial approximation of a model’s training loss function, where each user’s data is […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gordan Krnjaic | First 5 Authors: Stephen Appert, Stephen Appert, , , | Summary: LDMX, The Light Dark Matter eXperiment, is a missing momentum search for hidden sector dark matter in the MeV to GeV range. It will be located at SLAC in End Station A, and will employ an 8 GeV electron […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: Mairéad E Heiger, Mairéad E Heiger, , , | Summary: We present detailed chemical abundances of the brightest star in each of the ultra-faint dwarf galaxies Eridanus IV and Centaurus I using high-resolution Magellan/MIKE spectroscopy. The brightest star in Centaurus I, CenI-5136, is a very metal-poor […]
Kavli Affiliate: Savdeep Sethi | First 5 Authors: Andrea Dei, Andrea Dei, , , | Summary: Computing the Euclidean spacetime action on-shell provides a useful way of both testing holographic proposals and determining the string theory sphere partition function. We consider families of three-dimensional linear dilaton spacetimes for which there are holographic proposals that share […]

Kavli Affiliate: Emil J. Martinec | First 5 Authors: Iosif Bena, Iosif Bena, , , | Summary: In AdS$_3$/CFT$_2$ duality, there are large families of smooth, horizonless microstate geometries that correspond to heavy pure states of the dual CFT. The metric and fluxes are complicated functions of up to five coordinates. There are also many […]
Kavli Affiliate: Salman Habib | First 5 Authors: Nesar Ramachandra, Nesar Ramachandra, , , | Summary: Pre-trained Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized text processing, yet adapting Transformer-based neural networks to non-textual scientific modalities typically requires specialized architectures and extensive computational resources. We demonstrate that LLaMA-3.1-8B can be efficiently repurposed to predict galaxy redshifts from […]
