Gravitational Waves from Metastable Cosmic Strings in Supersymmetric New Inflation Model

Kavli Affiliate: Satoshi Shirai | First 5 Authors: Akifumi Chitose, Masahiro Ibe, Shunsuke Neda, Satoshi Shirai, | Summary: Recent observations by pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) indicate a potential detection of a stochastic gravitational wave (GW) background. Metastable cosmic strings have been recognized as a possible source of the observed signals. In this paper, we propose […]

Identifying the Galactic Substructures in 5D Space Using All-sky RR Lyrae Stars in Gaia DR3

Kavli Affiliate: Huawei Zhang | First 5 Authors: Shenglan Sun, Fei Wang, Huawei Zhang, Xiang-Xiang Xue, Yang Huang | Summary: Motivated by the vast gap between photometric and spectroscopic data volumes, there is great potential in using 5D kinematic information to identify and study substructures of the Milky Way. We identify substructures in the Galactic […]

Orbital Description of Landau Levels

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Huan Wang, Rui Shi, Zhaochen Liu, Jing Wang, | Summary: We construct a minimal lattice model to provide an orbital description of lowest and first Landau levels. With the maximally localized Wannier functions with $s$, $p_-$, $p_+$ orbital characteristics, a three-orbital model is developed, where the lowest […]

Expanding the ultracompacts: gravitational wave-driven mass transfer in the shortest-period binaries with accretion disks

Kavli Affiliate: Scott A. Hughes | First 5 Authors: Joheen Chakraborty, Kevin B. Burdge, Saul A. Rappaport, James Munday, Hai-Liang Chen | Summary: We report the discovery of three ultracompact binary white dwarf systems hosting accretion disks, with orbital periods of 7.95, 8.68, and 13.15 minutes. This significantly augments the population of mass-transferring binaries at […]

Probing false vacuum decay on a cold-atom gauge-theory quantum simulator

Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Zi-Hang Zhu, Ying Liu, Gianluca Lagnese, Federica Maria Surace, Wei-Yong Zhang | Summary: In the context of quantum electrodynamics, the decay of false vacuum leads to the production of electron-positron pair, a phenomenon known as the Schwinger effect. In practical experimental scenarios, producing a pair requires an […]
