Extreme mass-ratio inspiral and waveforms for a spinning body into a Kerr black hole via osculating geodesics and near-identity transformations

Kavli Affiliate: Scott A. Hughes | First 5 Authors: Lisa V. Drummond, Philip Lynch, Alexandra G. Hanselman, Devin R. Becker, Scott A. Hughes | Summary: Understanding the orbits of spinning bodies in curved spacetime is important for modeling binary black hole systems with small mass ratios. At zeroth order in mass ratio, the smaller body […]

How time weathers galaxies: The temporal impact of the cluster environment on galaxy formation and evolution

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Stephanie O’Neil, Josh Borrow, Mark Vogelsberger, Hanzhang Zhao, Bing Wang | Summary: We illuminate the altered evolution of galaxies in clusters compared to the field by tracking galaxies in the IllustrisTNG300 simulation as they enter isolated clusters of mass $10^{13} < M_{rm 200, mean} / {rm M}_odot […]

Growing Brains: Co-emergence of Anatomical and Functional Modularity in Recurrent Neural Networks

Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Ziming Liu, Mikail Khona, Ila R. Fiete, Max Tegmark, | Summary: Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) trained on compositional tasks can exhibit functional modularity, in which neurons can be clustered by activity similarity and participation in shared computational subtasks. Unlike brains, these RNNs do not exhibit anatomical modularity, […]

Variability as a predictor for the hard-to-soft state transition in GX 339-4

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Matteo Lucchini, Marina Ten Have, Jingyi Wang, Jeroen Homan, Erin Kara | Summary: During the outbursts of black hole X-ray binaries (BHXRBs), their accretion flows transition through several states. The source luminosity rises in the hard state, dominated by non-thermal emission, before transitioning to the blackbody-dominated soft […]

The Geometry of Truth: Emergent Linear Structure in Large Language Model Representations of True/False Datasets

Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Samuel Marks, Max Tegmark, , , | Summary: Large Language Models (LLMs) have impressive capabilities, but are also prone to outputting falsehoods. Recent work has developed techniques for inferring whether a LLM is telling the truth by training probes on the LLM’s internal activations. However, this line […]
