A pair of Calabi-Yau manifolds from a two parameter non-Abelian gauged linear sigma model

Kavli Affiliate: Kentaro Hori | First 5 Authors: Kentaro Hori, Johanna Knapp, , , | Summary: We construct and study a two parameter gauged linear sigma model with gauge group $(U(1)^2times O(2))/{mathbb Z}_2$ that has a dual model with gauge group $(U(1)^2times SO(4))/{mathbb Z}_2$. The model has two geometric phases, three hybrid phases and one […]

Constraint on the inflow/outflow rates in star-forming galaxies at z~1.4 from molecular gas observations

Kavli Affiliate: Naoyuki Tamura | First 5 Authors: Akifumi Seko, Kouji Ohta, Kiyoto Yabe, Bunyo Hatsukade, Masayuki Akiyama | Summary: We constrain the rate of gas inflow into and outflow from a main-sequence star-forming galaxy at z~1.4 by fitting a simple analytic model for the chemical evolution in a galaxy to the observational data of […]

Light yield of an undoped CsI crystal coupled directly to a photomultiplier tube at 77 Kelvin

Kavli Affiliate: Masaki Yamashita | First 5 Authors: Jing Liu, Masaki Yamashita, Arun Kumar Soma, , | Summary: A light yield of 20.4 $pm$ 0.8 photoelectrons/keV was achieved with an undoped CsI crystal coupled directly to a photomultiplier tube at 77 Kelvin. This is by far the largest yield in the world achieved with CsI […]

Cherkis bow varieties and Coulomb branches of quiver gauge theories of affine type $A$

Kavli Affiliate: Hiraku Nakajima | First 5 Authors: Hiraku Nakajima, Yuuya Takayama, , , | 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 […]

S-folds and 4d N=3 superconformal field theories

Kavli Affiliate: Yuji Tachikawa | First 5 Authors: Ofer Aharony, Yuji Tachikawa, Kiyonori Gomi, , | Summary: S-folds are generalizations of orientifolds in type IIB string theory, such that the geometric identifications are accompanied by non-trivial S-duality transformations. They were recently used by Garcia-Etxebarria and Regalado to provide the first construction of four dimensional N=3 […]
