Generalized Narain Theories Decoded: Discussions on Eisenstein series, Characteristics, Orbifolds, Discriminants and Ensembles in any Dimension

Posted by dbos Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Masahito Yamazaki | First 5 Authors: Meer Ashwinkumar, Abhiram Kidambi, Jacob M. Leedom, Masahito Yamazaki, | Summary: We study a class of newly-introduced CFTs associated with even quadratic forms of general signature, which we call generalized Narain theories. We first summarize the properties of these theories. We then consider orbifolds of these theories, […]

VaTEST III: Validation of 8 Potential Super-Earths from TESS Data

Posted by dbos MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Avi Shporer | First 5 Authors: Priyashkumar Mistry, Aniket Prasad, Mousam Maity, Kamlesh Pathak, Sarvesh Gharat | Summary: NASA’s all-sky survey mission, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is specifically designed to detect transiting exoplanets orbiting bright stars. TESS has already identified about 400 transiting exoplanets, as well as approximately 6000 candidates awaiting […]

Improved Planck constraints on axion-like early dark energy as a resolution of the Hubble tension

Posted by dbos Cambridge

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: George Efstathiou, Erik Rosenberg, Vivian Poulin, , | Summary: Axion-like early dark energy (EDE) as an extension to $Lambda$CDM has been proposed as a possible solution to the ‘Hubble tension’. We revisit this model using a new cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature and polarization likelihood constructed from […]

The SPT-Chandra BCG Spectroscopic Survey I: Evolution of the Entropy Threshold for Cooling and Feedback in Galaxy Clusters Over the Last 10 Gyr

Posted by dbos Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Lindsey E. Bleem | First 5 Authors: Michael S. Calzadilla, Michael McDonald, Bradford A. Benson, Lindsey E. Bleem, Judith H. Croston | Summary: We present a multi-wavelength study of the brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) in a sample of the 95 most massive galaxy clusters selected from South Pole Telescope (SPT) Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) survey. […]

Yang-Mills instantons as the end point of black hole evaporation

Posted by dbos Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | First 5 Authors: Pisin Chen, Xiao Yan Chew, Misao Sasaki, Dong-han Yeom, | Summary: Non-perturbative contributions of the Euclidean path integral are important to understand the information loss paradox. In this paper, we revisit the Yang-Mills instantons in the Einstein-Yang-Mills theory. There exists a globally regular solution that is known […]
