Kavli Affiliate: Naoki Yasuda | First 5 Authors: Wenting Wang, Xiangchong Li, Jingjing Shi, Jiaxin Han, Naoki Yasuda | Summary: Using photometric galaxies from the HSC survey, we measure the stellar mass density profiles for satellite galaxies as a function of the projected distance, $r_p$, to isolated central galaxies (ICGs) selected from SDSS/DR7 spectroscopic galaxies […]

Kavli Affiliate: Eiichiro Komatsu | First 5 Authors: Daniel J. Farrow, Ariel G. Sánchez, Robin Ciardullo, Erin Mentuch Cooper, Dustin Davis | Summary: The construction of catalogues of a particular type of galaxy can be complicated by interlopers contaminating the sample. In spectroscopic galaxy surveys this can be due to the misclassification of an emission […]

Kavli Affiliate: Satoshi Shirai | First 5 Authors: Masahiro Ibe, Shin Kobayashi, Yuhei Nakayama, Satoshi Shirai, | Summary: We discuss gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking models which explain the observed muon anomalous magnetic moment and the Higgs boson mass simultaneously. The successful explanation requires the messenger sector which violates the relation motivated by the grand unification […]

Kavli Affiliate: Hirosi Ooguri | First 5 Authors: Nathan Benjamin, Christoph A. Keller, Hirosi Ooguri, Ida G. Zadeh, | Summary: We generalize the holographic correspondence between topological gravity coupled to an abelian Chern-Simons theory in three dimensions and an ensemble average of Narain’s family of massless free bosons in two dimensions, discovered by Afkhami-Jeddi et […]

Kavli Affiliate: Yuji Tachikawa | First 5 Authors: Yuji Tachikawa, , , , | Summary: Spacetime theories obtained from perturbative string theory constructions are automatically free of perturbative anomalies, but it is not settled whether they are always free of global anomalies. Here we discuss a possible $mathbb{Z}_{24}$-valued pure gravitational anomaly of heterotic compactifications down […]

Kavli Affiliate: Toshiya Namikawa | First 5 Authors: Toshiya Namikawa, Atsushi Naruko, Ryo Saito, Atsushi Taruya, Daisuke Yamauchi | Summary: We develop a systematic and unified approach to estimate all possible secondary (i.e. non-primordial) nonlinear effects to the cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization, named curve-of-sight integration approach. In this approach, the Boltzmann equation for polarized […]

Kavli Affiliate: Simeon Hellerman | First 5 Authors: Simeon Hellerman, , , , | Summary: In this note we consider Coulomb-branch chiral primary correlation functions in ${cal N} = 2$ superconformal QCD with gauge group $SU(2)$, in the limit of large R-charge ${cal J} = 2n$ for the chiral primary operators $[{cal O}(x)]^ n$ with […]

Kavli Affiliate: Masahito Yamazaki | First 5 Authors: Dongmin Gang, Sungjoon Kim, Kimyeong Lee, Myungbo Shim, Masahito Yamazaki | Summary: We propose a novel procedure of assigning a pair of non-unitary topological quantum field theories (TQFTs), TFT$_pm [mathcal{T}_{rm rank ;0}]$, to a (2+1)D interacting $mathcal{N}=4$ superconformal field theory (SCFT) $mathcal{T}_{rm rank ;0}$ of rank 0, […]

Kavli Affiliate: Yasunori Nomura | First 5 Authors: Hao Geng, Yasunori Nomura, Hao-Yu Sun, , | Summary: We formulate a version of the information paradox in de Sitter spacetime and show that it is solved by the emergence of entanglement islands in the context of the DS/dS correspondence; in particular, the entanglement entropy of a […]

Kavli Affiliate: Tomotake Matsumura | First 5 Authors: Qi Wen, Elena Fadeeva, Shaul Hanany, Jürgen Koch, Tomotake Matsumura | Summary: We use a 1030 nm laser with 7 ps pulse duration and average power up to 100 W to ablate pyramid-shape subwavelength structures (SWS) on alumina and sapphire. The SWS give an effective and cryogenically […]
