Parity-Odd Power Spectra: Concise Statistics for Cosmological Parity Violation

Kavli Affiliate: Eiichiro Komatsu | First 5 Authors: Drew Jamieson, Angelo Caravano, Jiamin Hou, Zachary Slepian, Eiichiro Komatsu | Summary: We introduce the Parity-Odd Power (POP) spectra, a novel set of observables for probing parity violation in cosmological $N$-point statistics. POP spectra are derived from composite fields obtained by applying nonlinear transformations, involving also gradients, […]

Early Galaxies and Early Dark Energy: A Unified Solution to the Hubble Tension and Puzzles of Massive Bright Galaxies revealed by JWST

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Xuejian Shen, Mark Vogelsberger, Michael Boylan-Kolchin, Sandro Tacchella, Rohan P. Naidu | Summary: JWST has revealed a large population of ultra-violet (UV)-bright galaxies at $zgtrsim 10$ and possibly overly massive galaxies at $zgtrsim 7$, challenging standard galaxy formation models in the $Lambda$CDM cosmology. We use an empirical […]

FlowBench: Revisiting and Benchmarking Workflow-Guided Planning for LLM-based Agents

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Ruixuan Xiao, Wentao Ma, Ke Wang, Yuchuan Wu, Junbo Zhao | Summary: LLM-based agents have emerged as promising tools, which are crafted to fulfill complex tasks by iterative planning and action. However, these agents are susceptible to undesired planning hallucinations when lacking specific knowledge for expertise-intensive tasks. […]

Growth of high redshift supermassive black holes from heavy seeds in the BRAHMA cosmological simulations: Implications of overmassive black holes

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Aklant K Bhowmick, Laura Blecha, Paul Torrey, Rachel S Somerville, Luke Zoltan Kelley | Summary: JWST has recently revealed a large population of accreting black holes (BHs) in the early Universe. Even after accounting for possible systematic biases, the high-z $M_*-M_{rm rm bh}$ relation derived from these […]

Roman FFP Revolution: Two, Three, Many Plutos

Kavli Affiliate: Subo Dong | First 5 Authors: Andrew Gould, Jennifer C. Yee, Subo Dong, , | Summary: Roman microlensing stands at a crossroads between its originally charted path of cataloging a population of cool planets that has subsequently become well-measured down to super-Earths, and the path of free-floating planets (FFPs), which did not exist […]

The neural correlates of logical-mathematical symbol systems processing resemble that of spatial cognition more than natural language processing

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Yuannan Li, Shan Xu, Jia Liu, , | Summary: The ability to manipulate logical-mathematical symbols (LMS), encompassing tasks such as calculation, reasoning, and programming, is a cognitive skill arguably unique to humans. Considering the relatively recent emergence of this ability in human evolutionary history, it has been […]
