Reduction of thermal fluctuations in a cryogenic laser interferometric gravitational wave detector

Kavli Affiliate: Tomiyoshi Haruyama | First 5 Authors: Takashi Uchiyama, Shinji Miyoki, Souichi Telada, Kazuhiro Yamamoto, Masatake Ohashi | Summary: The thermal fluctuation of mirror surfaces is the fundamental limitation for interferometric gravitational wave (GW) detectors. Here, we experimentally demonstrate for the first time a reduction in a mirror’s thermal fluctuation in a GW detector […]

On G/N-Hilb of N-Hilb

Kavli Affiliate: Yukari Ito | First 5 Authors: Akira Ishii, Yukari Ito, Álvaro Nolla de Celis, , | Summary: In this paper we consider the iterated G-equivariant Hilbert scheme G/N-Hilb(N-Hilb) and prove that G/N-Hilb(N-Hilb(C^3)) is a crepant resolution of C^3/G isomorphic to the moduli space of theta-stable representations of the McKay quiver for certain stability […]

Application of Mathematical Optimization Procedures to Intervention Effects in Structural Equation Models

Kavli Affiliate: Atsushi Yagishita | First 5 Authors: Kentaro Tanaka, Atsushi Yagishita, Masami Miyakawa, , | Summary: For a given statistical model, it often happens that it is necessary to intervene the model to reduce the variances of the output variables. In structural equation models, this can be done by changing the values of the […]

Circle-valued Morse theory for complex hyperplane arrangements

Kavli Affiliate: Toshitake Kohno | First 5 Authors: Toshitake Kohno, Andrei Pajitnov, , , | Summary: Let A be an essential complex hyperplane arrangement in an n-dimensional complex vector space V. Let H denote the union of the hyperplanes, and M denote the complement to H in V. We develop the real-valued and circle-valued Morse […]

Probing dark energy and neutrino mass from upcoming lensing experiments of CMB and galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Toshiya Namikawa | First 5 Authors: Toshiya Namikawa, Shun Saito, Atsushi Taruya, , | Summary: We discuss the synergy of the cosmic shear and CMB lensing experiments to simultaneously constrain the neutrino mass and dark energy properties. Taking fully account of the CMB lensing, cosmic shear, CMB anisotropies, and their cross correlation signals, […]
