Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey A. Harvey | First 5 Authors: John F. R. Duncan, Jeffrey A. Harvey, Brandon C. Rayhaun, , | Summary: The Thompson sporadic group admits special relationships to modular forms of two kinds. On the one hand, last century’s generalized moonshine for the monster equipped the Thompson group with a module for which […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Maura Lally, Andrew Vanderburg, , , | Summary: We reassess the claimed detection of variability in the atmosphere of the hot Jupiter HAT-P-7 b, reported by Armstrong et al. (2016). Although astronomers expect hot Jupiters to have changing atmospheres, variability is challenging to detect. We looked for […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey A. Harvey | First 5 Authors: John F. R. Duncan, Jeffrey A. Harvey, Brandon C. Rayhaun, , | Summary: Motivated by the appearance of penumbral moonshine, and by evidence that penumbral moonshine enjoys an extensive relationship to generalized monstrous moonshine via infinite products, we establish a general construction in this work which […]
Kavli Affiliate: Daniel E. Holz | First 5 Authors: Jose María Ezquiaga, Daniel E. Holz, , , | Summary: We explore the use of the mass spectrum of neutron stars and black holes in gravitational-wave compact binary sources as a cosmological probe. These standard siren sources provide direct measurements of luminosity distance. In addition, features […]
Kavli Affiliate: Eli Rykoff | First 5 Authors: Zhuowen Zhang, Hao-Yi Wu, Yuanyuan Zhang, Joshua Frieman, Chun-Hao To | Summary: Counts of galaxy clusters offer a high-precision probe of cosmology, but control of systematic errors will determine the accuracy of this measurement. Using Buzzard simulations, we quantify one such systematic, the triaxiality distribution of clusters […]

Kavli Affiliate: J. S. Villasenor | First 5 Authors: J. Fernando Barbero G., Marc Basquens, Bogar Díaz, Eduardo J. S. Villaseñor, | Summary: We study the internally abelianized version of a range of gravitational theories, written in connection tetrad form, and study the possible interaction terms that can be added to them in a consistent […]

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Victoria Yankelevich, Ian G. McCarthy, Juliana Kwan, Sam G. Stafford, Jia Liu | Summary: The power spectrum has been a workhorse for cosmological studies of large-scale structure. However, the present-day matter distribution is highly non-Gaussian and significant cosmological information is also contained in higher-order correlation functions. Meanwhile, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Jing Wang, Xiaogang Liu, , , | Summary: In this paper, we study the existence of perfect state transfer and pretty good state transfer in vertex complemented coronas. We prove that perfect state transfer in vertex complemented coronas is extremely rare. In contrast, we give sufficient conditions […]
