Kavli Affiliate: Toshiya Namikawa | First 5 Authors: Emilie Hertig, Kevin Wolz, Toshiya Namikawa, Antón Baleato Lizancos, Susanna Azzoni | Summary: The Simons Observatory (SO), due to start full science operations in early 2025, aims to set tight constraints on inflationary physics by inferring the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$ from measurements of CMB polarization $B$-modes. Its […]
Kavli Affiliate: Toshiya Namikawa | First 5 Authors: Niall MacCrann, Frank J. Qu, Toshiya Namikawa, Boris Bolliet, Hongbo Cai | Summary: Patchy reionization generates kinematic Sunyaev-Zeldovich (kSZ) anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Large-scale velocity perturbations along the line of sight modulate the small-scale kSZ power spectrum, leading to a trispectrum (or four-point function) […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hirosi Ooguri | First 5 Authors: Hirosi Ooguri, Yifan Wang, , , | Summary: For any unitary conformal field theory in two dimensions with the central charge $c$, we prove that, if there is a nontrivial primary operator whose conformal dimension $Delta$ vanishes in some limit on the conformal manifold, the Zamolodchikov distance […]

Kavli Affiliate: Satoshi Shirai | First 5 Authors: Takafumi Aoki, Masahiro Ibe, Satoshi Shirai, Keiichi Watanabe, | Summary: This paper investigates the impact of small instanton effects on the axion mass in the composite accidental axion (CAA) models. These models are designed to address the axion quality problem, where QCD gauge symmetry is embedded as […]

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Sihao Cheng, Gabriela A. Marques, Daniela Grandón, Leander Thiele, Masato Shirasaki | Summary: As weak lensing surveys go deeper, there is an increasing need for reliable characterization of non-Gaussian structures at small angular scales. Here we present the first cosmological constraints with weak lensing scattering transform, a […]
