Representing low mass black hole seeds in cosmological simulations: A new sub-grid stochastic seed model

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Aklant K Bhowmick, Laura Blecha, Paul Torrey, Rainer Weinberger, Luke Zoltan Kelley | Summary: The nature of the first seeds of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) is currently unknown, with postulated initial masses ranging from $sim10^5~M_{odot}$ to as low as $sim10^2~M_{odot}$. However, most existing cosmological simulations resolve BHs […]

Small-scale signatures of primordial non-Gaussianity in k-Nearest Neighbour cumulative distribution functions

Posted by klaurent Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Tom Abel | First 5 Authors: William R. Coulton, Tom Abel, Arka Banerjee, , | Summary: Searches for primordial non-Gaussianity in cosmological perturbations are a key means of revealing novel primordial physics. However, robustly extracting signatures of primordial non-Gaussianity from non-linear scales of the late-time Universe is an open problem. In this paper, […]

Manifestly covariant variational principle for gauge theories of gravity

Posted by klaurent Cambridge

Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Lasenby | First 5 Authors: Michael Hobson, Anthony Lasenby, Will Barker, , | Summary: A variational principle for gauge theories of gravity is presented, which maintains manifest covariance under the symmetries to which the action is invariant, throughout the calculation of the equations of motion and conservation laws. This is performed by […]

Clump-scale Gas Infall in High-mass Star Formation: a Multi-transition View with JCMT HCN (4–3) Mapping

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Fengwei Xu, Ke Wang, Yuxin He, Jingwen Wu, Lei Zhu | Summary: Gas infall motions play a crucial role in high-mass star formation and are characterized by observable signatures in the form of blue-shifted asymmetric spectral line profiles ("blue profiles"). However, the connection between blue profiles and […]

Dualities and Discretizations of Integrable Quantum Field Theories from 4d Chern-Simons Theory

Posted by klaurent Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Masahito Yamazaki | First 5 Authors: Meer Ashwinkumar, Jun-ichi Sakamoto, Masahito Yamazaki, , | Summary: We elucidate the relationship between 2d integrable field theories and 2d integrable lattice models, in the framework of the 4d Chern-Simons theory. The 2d integrable field theory is realized by coupling the 4d theory to multiple 2d surface […]
