Beyond Coleman’s Instantons

Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | First 5 Authors: Misao Sasaki, Vicharit Yingcharoenrat, Ying-li Zhang, , | Summary: In the absence of gravity, Coleman’s theorem states that the $O(4)$-symmetric instanton solution, which is regular at the origin and exponentially decays at infinity, gives the lowest action. Perturbatively, this implies that any small deformation from $O(4)$-symmetry gives […]

Continuous gravitational waves from thermal mountains on accreting neutron stars: effect of the nuclear pasta phase

Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Hong-Bo Li, Lijing Shao, Cheng-Jun Xia, Ren-Xin Xu, | Summary: As density increases, the shape of nuclei transitions to non-spherical “nuclear pasta" structures. The physical properties of the nuclear pasta, such as thermal conductivity and elasticity, have implications for detecting continuous gravitational waves from a rapidly rotating […]

Accuracy of Stellar Mass-to-light Ratios of Nearby Galaxies in the Near-Infrared

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Taehyun Kim, Minjin Kim, Luis C. Ho, Yang A. Li, Woong-Seob Jeong | Summary: Future satellite missions are expected to perform all-sky surveys, thus providing the entire sky near-infrared spectral data and consequently opening a new window to investigate the evolution of galaxies. Specifically, the infrared […]

Wireless Resource Allocation with Collaborative Distributed and Centralized DRL under Control Channel Attacks

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Ke Wang, Wanchun Liu, Teng Joon Lim, , | Summary: In this paper, we consider a wireless resource allocation problem in a cyber-physical system (CPS) where the control channel, carrying resource allocation commands, is subjected to denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. We propose a novel concept of collaborative distributed […]

SAM Decoding: Speculative Decoding via Suffix Automaton

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Yuxuan Hu, Ke Wang, Xiaokang Zhang, Fanjin Zhang, Cuiping Li | Summary: Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized natural language processing by unifying tasks into text generation, yet their large parameter sizes and autoregressive nature limit inference speed. SAM-Decoding addresses this by introducing a novel retrieval-based speculative […]

Impacts and Statistical Mitigation of Missing Data on the 21cm Power Spectrum: A Case Study with the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array

Kavli Affiliate: Jacqueline N. Hewitt | First 5 Authors: Kai-Feng Chen, Michael J. Wilensky, Adrian Liu, Joshua S. Dillon, Jacqueline N. Hewitt | Summary: The precise characterization and mitigation of systematic effects is one of the biggest roadblocks impeding the detection of the fluctuations of cosmological 21cm signals. Missing data in radio cosmological experiments, often […]

Tracing 3-D Magnetic Field Structure Using Dust Polarization and the Zeeman Effect

Kavli Affiliate: Susan E. Clark | First 5 Authors: Brandon Shane, Blakesley Burkhart, Laura Fissel, Susan E. Clark, Philip Mocz | Summary: The characterization of magnetic fields within molecular clouds is fundamental to understanding star formation processes. Accurately gauging the three-dimensional structure of these fields presents a challenge, as observational techniques such as dust polarization […]
