Kavli Affiliate: Taizan Watari | First 5 Authors: Yuichi Enoki, Yotaro Sato, Taizan Watari, , | Summary: We showed that there is no SU(2) Witten anomaly in a large class of 4d N = 2 supersymmetric Heterotic string compactifications. The consistency conditions we consider are the modularity of the new supersymmetric index, the integrality of […]

Kavli Affiliate: Hirosi Ooguri | First 5 Authors: Stefano Andriolo, Tzu-Chen Huang, Toshifumi Noumi, Hirosi Ooguri, Gary Shiu | Summary: The axionic weak gravity conjecture predicts the existence of instantons whose actions are less than their charges in appropriate units. We show that the conjecture is satisfied for the axion-dilaton-gravity system if we assume duality […]
Kavli Affiliate: Naoki Yasuda | First 5 Authors: Tian Qiu, Wenting Wang, Masahiro Takada, Naoki Yasuda, Željko Ivezić | Summary: We present proper motion measurements for more than $0.55$ million main-sequence stars, by comparing astrometric positions of matched stars between the multi-band imaging datasets from the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) Survey and the SDSS Stripe 82. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tomotake Matsumura | First 5 Authors: Tommaso Ghigna, Tomotake Matsumura, Guillaume Patanchon, Hirokazu Ishino, Masashi Hazumi | Summary: Current and future Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) Radiation experiments are targeting the polarized $B$-mode signal. The small amplitude of this signal makes a successful measurement challenging for current technologies. Therefore, very accurate studies to mitigate […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alexey Bondal | First 5 Authors: Agnieszka Bodzenta, Alexey Bondal, , , | Summary: We define the functor $textrm{ncDef}_{(Z_1,ldots,Z_n)}$ of non-commutative deformations of an $n$-tuple of objects in an arbitrary $k$-linear abelian category $mathcal{Z}$. In our categorified approach, we view the underlying spaces of infinitesimal flat deformations as Deligne finite categories, i.e. finite […]
Kavli Affiliate: Todor Milanov | First 5 Authors: Todor Milanov, Chenghan Zha, , , | Summary: We compute the image of the Milnor lattice of an ADE singularity under a period map. We also prove that the Milnor latticecan be identified with an appropriate relative $K$-group defined through the Berglund-H"ubsch dual of the corresponding singularity. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mihoko M. Nojiri | First 5 Authors: Amit Chakraborty, Sung Hak Lim, Mihoko M. Nojiri, Michihisa Takeuchi, | Summary: Deep neural networks trained on jet images have been successful in classifying different kinds of jets. In this paper, we identify the crucial physics features that could reproduce the classification performance of the convolutional […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yuji Tachikawa | First 5 Authors: Chang-Tse Hsieh, Yuji Tachikawa, Kazuya Yonekura, , | Summary: Chiral and non-chiral $p$-form gauge fields have gravitational anomalies and anomalies of Green-Schwarz type. This means that they are most naturally realized as the boundary modes of bulk topological phases in one higher dimensions. We give a systematic […]
Kavli Affiliate: Takaaki Kajita | First 5 Authors: Tomohiro Yamada, Takayuki Tomaru, Toshikazu Suzuki, Takafumi Ushiba, Nobuhiro Kimura | Summary: We developed a soft and high thermal conductive heat link for cryogenic applications. The measured maximum thermal conductivity was approximately 18500 W/m/K at 10 K. This spring constant was 1/43 of that of a single […]
