Enhanced Curvature Perturbation and Primordial Black Hole Formation in Two-stage Inflation with a break

Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | First 5 Authors: Xinpeng Wang, Ying-li Zhang, Misao Sasaki, , | Summary: We investigate a model of $R^2$-gravity with a non-minimally coupled scalar field that gives rise to two-stage inflation with a break, that is, with an intermediate stage where inflation momentarily halts. We find that the power spectrum of […]

Universal Bound on Effective Central Charge and Its Saturation

Kavli Affiliate: Hirosi Ooguri | First 5 Authors: Andreas Karch, Yuya Kusuki, Hirosi Ooguri, Hao-Yu Sun, Mianqi Wang | Summary: The effective central charge (denoted by $c_{text{eff}}$) is a measure of entanglement through a conformal interface, while the transmission coefficient (encoded in the coefficient $c_{LR}$ of the two-point function of the energy-momentum tensor across the […]

Exploring the baryonic effect signature in the Hyper Suprime-Cam Year 3 cosmic shear two-point correlations on small scales: the $S_8$ tension remains present

Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Takada | First 5 Authors: Ryo Terasawa, Xiangchong Li, Masahiro Takada, Takahiro Nishimichi, Satoshi Tanaka | Summary: The baryonic feedback effect is considered as a possible solution to the so-called $S_8$ tension indicated in cosmic shear cosmology. The baryonic effect is more significant on smaller scales, and affects the cosmic shear two-point […]

Non-invertible symmetries act locally by quantum operations

Kavli Affiliate: Yuji Tachikawa | First 5 Authors: Masaki Okada, Yuji Tachikawa, , , | Summary: Non-invertible symmetries of quantum field theories and many-body systems generalize the concept of symmetries by allowing non-invertible operations in addition to more ordinary invertible ones described by groups. The aim of this paper is to point out that these […]

Sample and Communication Efficient Fully Decentralized MARL Policy Evaluation via a New Approach: Local TD update

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Fnu Hairi, Zifan Zhang, Jia Liu, , | Summary: In actor-critic framework for fully decentralized multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL), one of the key components is the MARL policy evaluation (PE) problem, where a set of $N$ agents work cooperatively to evaluate the value function of the global […]

K-theoretic Heisenberg algebras and permutation-equivariant Gromov–Witten theory

Kavli Affiliate: Todor Milanov | First 5 Authors: Todor Milanov, , , , | Summary: We found an interesting application of the K-theoretic Heisenberg algebras of Weiqiang Wang to the foundations of permutation equivariant K-theoretic Gromov–Witten theory. We also found an explicit formula for the genus 0 correlators in the permutation equivariant Gromov–Witten theory of […]

Subvolume method for SU(2) Yang-Mills theory at finite temperature: topological charge distributions

Kavli Affiliate: Masahito Yamazaki | First 5 Authors: Norikazu Yamada, Masahito Yamazaki, Ryuichiro Kitano, , | Summary: We apply the previously-developed sub-volume method to study the $theta$-dependence of the four-dimensional SU(2) Yang-Mills theory. We calculate the first two coefficients, the topological susceptibility $chi$ and the fourth cumulant $b_2$, in the $theta$-expansion of the free energy […]
