Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Yuchen Ling, Shengcheng Yu, Chunrong Fang, Guobin Pan, Jun Wang | Summary: Context: Crowdsourced testing has gained popularity in software testing, especially for mobile app testing, due to its ability to bring diversity and tackle fragmentation issues. However, the openness of crowdsourced testing presents challenges, particularly in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Salman Habib | First 5 Authors: Cooper Jacobus, Solene Chabanier, Peter Harrington, JD Emberson, Zarija Lukić | Summary: The next generation of cosmological spectroscopic sky surveys will probe the distribution of matter across several Gigaparsecs (Gpc) or many billion light-years. In order to leverage the rich data in these new maps to gain […]
Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Pouya M. Kouch, Ioannis Liodakis, Francesco Fenu, Haocheng Zhang, Stella Boula | Summary: The X-ray polarization observations made possible with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) offer new ways of probing high-energy emission processes in astrophysical jets from blazars. Here we report on the first X-ray […]
Kavli Affiliate: David N. Spergel | First 5 Authors: Gregory Gabadadze, David N. Spergel, Giorgi Tukhashvili, , | Summary: We study inflation in a recently proposed gravitational effective field theory describing the trace anomaly. The theory requires an additional scalar which is massless in the early universe. This scalar — referenced as an anomalyon — […]
Kavli Affiliate: Emil J. Martinec | First 5 Authors: Emil J. Martinec, Yoav Zigdon, , , | Summary: An effective action for NS5-branes coupled to supergravity is used to derive the full 10d form of horizon-free BPS solutions of fivebranes carrying momentum waves, including both transverse scalar and internal gauge excitations of the branes. When […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Wentao Qu, Jing Wang, YongShun Gong, Xiaoshui Huang, Liang Xiao | Summary: Existing conditional Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPMs) with a Noise-Conditional Framework (NCF) remain challenging for 3D scene understanding tasks, as the complex geometric details in scenes increase the difficulty of fitting the gradients of the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Chen Tan, Ke Wang, , , | Summary: According to the Schr"odinger-Poisson equations, fuzzy dark matter (FDM) can form a stable equilibrium configuration, the so-called FDM soliton. In principle, given the FDM particle mass, the profile of FDM soliton is fixed. In practice, however, there is a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xian Chen | First 5 Authors: Peng Peng, Alessia Franchini, Matteo Bonetti, Alberto Sesana, Xian Chen | Summary: Extreme-mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) and intermediate-mass-ratio inspirals (IMRIs) are important gravitational wave (GW) sources for the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). It has been recently suggested that EMRIs and IMRIs can both form in the accretion […]
Kavli Affiliate: Renxin Xu | First 5 Authors: Di Li, Mao Yuan, Lin Wu, Jingye Yan, Xuning Lv | Summary: Long-period radio transients (LPTs) are a newly discovered class of radio emitters with yet incomprehensibly long rotation periods, ranging from minutes to hours. The astrophysical nature of their isolated counterparts remains undetermined. We report a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Ran Wang, Yimin Xiao, , , | Summary: Let $X:={X(t)}_{tge0}$ be a generalized fractional Brownian motion: $$ {X(t)}_{tge0}overset{d}{=}left{ int_{mathbb R} left((t-u)_+^{alpha}-(-u)_+^{alpha} right) |u|^{-gamma/2} B(du) right}_{tge0}, $$ with parameters $gamma in (0, 1)$ and $alphain left(-1/2+ gamma/2, , 1/2+ gamma/2 right)$. This is a self-similar Gaussian process introduced […]
