Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Xin-Chi Zhou, Ke Wang, , , | Summary: The critical point of a topological phase transition is described by a conformal field theory (CFT), where the finite-size corrections to the ground state energy are uniquely related to its central charge. We study the finite-size scaling of the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Clemente Smarra, Adrien Kuntz, Enrico Barausse, Boris Goncharov, Diana López Nacir | Summary: Millisecond pulsars are extremely precise celestial clocks: as they rotate, the beamed radio waves emitted along the axis of their magnetic field can be detected with radio telescopes, which allows for tracking subtle changes […]
Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Sebastian Baum, Patrick Huber, Patrick Stengel, Natsue Abe, Daniel G. Ang | Summary: The second "Mineral Detection of Neutrinos and Dark Matter" (MDvDM’24) meeting was held January 8-11, 2024 in Arlington, VA, USA, hosted by Virginia Tech’s Center for Neutrino Physics. This document collects contributions from this […]
Kavli Affiliate: Toshiya Namikawa | First 5 Authors: Emilie Hertig, Kevin Wolz, Toshiya Namikawa, Antón Baleato Lizancos, Susanna Azzoni | Summary: The Simons Observatory (SO), due to start full science operations in early 2025, aims to set tight constraints on inflationary physics by inferring the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$ from measurements of CMB polarization $B$-modes. Its […]
Kavli Affiliate: Toshiya Namikawa | First 5 Authors: Niall MacCrann, Frank J. Qu, Toshiya Namikawa, Boris Bolliet, Hongbo Cai | Summary: Patchy reionization generates kinematic Sunyaev-Zeldovich (kSZ) anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Large-scale velocity perturbations along the line of sight modulate the small-scale kSZ power spectrum, leading to a trispectrum (or four-point function) […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lina Necib | First 5 Authors: Jonah C. Rose, Paul Torrey, Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro, Mariangela Lisanti, Tri Nguyen | Summary: We introduce the DREAMS project, an innovative approach to understanding the astrophysical implications of alternative dark matter models and their effects on galaxy formation and evolution. The DREAMS project will ultimately comprise thousands of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hirosi Ooguri | First 5 Authors: Hirosi Ooguri, Yifan Wang, , , | Summary: For any unitary conformal field theory in two dimensions with the central charge $c$, we prove that, if there is a nontrivial primary operator whose conformal dimension $Delta$ vanishes in some limit on the conformal manifold, the Zamolodchikov distance […]
