Kavli Affiliate: Naoyuki Tamura | Summary:The Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS) is a new optical/near-infrared multi-fiber spectrograph designed for the prime focus of the 8.2m Subaru telescope. PFS will cover a 1.3 degree diameter field with 2394 fibers to complement the imaging capabilities of Hyper SuprimeCam. To retain high throughput, the final positioning accuracy between the […]

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Hartz | Summary:We describe a procedure to tune the charged hadron multiplicities for deep inelastic events produced by the NEUT neutrino interaction generator. This tuning uses a model based on Koba-Nielsen-Olesen scaling, whose parameters are obtained by fitting multiplicity data from deuterium bubble chamber experiments. After tuning, the multiplicities of the events […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hiraku Nakajima | Summary:We show that Coulomb branches of quiver gauge theories of affine type $A$ are Cherkis bow varieties, which have been introduced as ADHM type description of moduli space of instantons on the Taub-NUT space equivariant under a cyclic group action. | Search Query: arXiv Query: search_query=au:”Nakajima Hiraku”&id_list=&start=0&max_results=10Read More
Kavli Affiliate: Kunio Inoue | Summary:A high purity and large volume NaI(Tl) scintillator was developed to search for cosmic dark matter. The required densities of radioactive impurities (RIs) such as U-chain, Th-chain are less than a few ppt to establish high sensitivity to dark matter. The impurity of RIs were effectively reduced by selecting raw […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hiraku Nakajima | Summary:Consider the $3$-dimensional $mathcal N=4$ supersymmetric gauge theory associated with a compact Lie group $G_c$ and its quaternionic representation $mathbf M$. Physicists study its Coulomb branch, which is a noncompact hyper-Kähler manifold with an $mathrmSU(2)$-action, possibly with singularities. We give a mathematical definition of the Coulomb branch as an affine […]
Kavli Affiliate: Masaki Yamashita | Summary:XMASS-I uses single phase liquid xenon technology for aiming at the direct detection of dark matter. The detector observes only scintillation light by 2 inch 642 PMTs which are placed in sphere shape around an active volume. With its large mass target and high photoelectron yield, we conducted a search […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alexey Bondal | Summary:We study derived categories of Gorenstein varieties X and X^+ connected by a flop. We assume that the flopping contractions f: X to Y, f^+: X^+ to Y have fibers of dimension bounded by 1 and Y has canonical hypersurface singularities of multiplicity 2. We consider the fiber product W=X […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alexey Bondal | Summary:The paper is devoted to representation theoretic and algebraic geometric aspects of the theory of orthogonal decompositions of Lie algebra sl(n) into Cartan subalgebras orthogonal with respect to Killing form and the relevant theory of mutually unbiased bases. We describe the main steps of our proof for the existence of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hiraku Nakajima | Summary:This is a supplement to [arXiv:1503.03676], where an approach towards a mathematically rigorous definition of the Coulomb branch of a $3$-dimensional $mathcal N=4$ SUSY gauge theory was proposed. We ask questions on their expected properties, especially in relation to the corresponding Higgs branch, partly motivated by the interpretation of the […]
