Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Michael R. R. Good, Eric V Linder, Frank Wilczek, , | Summary: A new solution for an analytic spectrum of particle creation by an accelerating mirror (dynamical Casimir effect) is given. It is the first model to simultaneously radiate thermally and emit a finite number of particles. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert A. Simcoe | First 5 Authors: Karna A. Morey, Anna-Christina Eilers, Frederick B. Davies, Joseph F. Hennawi, Robert A. Simcoe | Summary: The lifetime of quasars can be estimated by means of their proximity zone sizes, which are regions of enhanced flux bluewards of the Lyman-$alpha$ emission line observed in the rest-frame […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wayne Hu | First 5 Authors: Jose Maria Ezquiaga, Wayne Hu, Macarena Lagos, Meng-Xiang Lin, | Summary: We study the cosmological propagation of gravitational waves (GWs) beyond general relativity (GR) across homogeneous and isotropic backgrounds. We consider scenarios in which GWs interact with an additional tensor field and use a parametrized phenomenological approach […]
Kavli Affiliate: Masahito Yamazaki | First 5 Authors: Dmitry Galakhov, Wei Li, Masahito Yamazaki, , | Summary: The quiver Yangian, an infinite-dimensional algebra introduced recently in arXiv:2003.08909, is the algebra underlying BPS state counting problems for toric Calabi-Yau three-folds. We introduce trigonometric and elliptic analogues of quiver Yangians, which we call toroidal quiver algebras and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Haibo Yang, Xin Zhang, Prashant Khanduri, Jia Liu, | Summary: Present-day federated learning (FL) systems deployed over edge networks consists of a large number of workers with high degrees of heterogeneity in data and/or computing capabilities, which call for flexible worker participation in terms of timing, effort, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Toshiya Namikawa | First 5 Authors: Blake D. Sherwin, Toshiya Namikawa, , , | Summary: The search for cosmic polarization rotation or birefringence in the CMB is well-motivated because it can provide powerful constraints on parity-violating new physics, such as axion-like particles. In this paper we point out that since the CMB polarization […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roland K. Vanderspek | First 5 Authors: Daniel Huber, Timothy R. White, Travis S. Metcalfe, Ashley Chontos, Michael M. Fausnaugh | Summary: We present an analysis of the first 20-second cadence light curves obtained by the TESS space telescope during its extended mission. We find a precision improvement of 20-second data compared to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Peter W. Graham | First 5 Authors: Michael A. Fedderke, Peter W. Graham, Derek F. Jackson Kimball, Saarik Kalia, | Summary: In our recent companion paper [arXiv:2106.00022], we pointed out a novel signature of ultralight kinetically mixed dark-photon dark matter. This signature is a quasi-monochromatic, time-oscillating terrestrial magnetic field that takes a particular […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tom Abel | First 5 Authors: Andrew Eberhardt, Michael Kopp, Alvaro Zamora, Tom Abel, | Summary: We introduce a numerical method and python package, https://github.com/andillio/CHiMES, that simulates quantum systems initially well approximated by mean field theory using a second order extension of the classical field approach. We call this the field moment expansion […]
Kavli Affiliate: Todor Milanov | First 5 Authors: Todor Milanov, Alexis Roquefeuil, , , | Summary: For a smooth projective variety whose anti-canonical bundle is nef, we prove confluence of the small $K$-theoretic $J$-function, i.e., after rescaling appropriately the Novikov variables, the small $K$-theoretic $J$-function has a limit when $qto 1$, which coincides with the […]
