Spectral bounds for exit times on metric measure Dirichlet spaces and applications

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Phanuel Mariano, Jing Wang, , , | Summary: Assuming the heat kernel on a doubling Dirichlet metric measure space has a generalized sub-Gaussian bound, we prove an asymptotically sharp spectral upper bound on the survival probability of the associated diffusion process. As a consequence, we can show […]

Impact of half-wave plate systematics on the measurement of cosmic birefringence from CMB polarization

Kavli Affiliate: Eiichiro Komatsu | First 5 Authors: Marta Monelli, Eiichiro Komatsu, Alexandre E. Adler, Matteo Billi, Paolo Campeti | Summary: Polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) can probe new parity-violating physics such as cosmic birefringence (CB), which requires exquisite control over instrumental systematics. The non-idealities of the half-wave plate (HWP) represent a source […]
