On a $mathbb{Z}_3$-valued discrete topological term in 10d heterotic string theories

Kavli Affiliate: Yuji Tachikawa | First 5 Authors: Yuji Tachikawa, Hao Y. Zhang, , , | Summary: We show that the low-energy effective actions of two ten-dimensional supersymmetric heterotic strings are different by a $mathbb{Z}_3$-valued discrete topological term even after we turn off the $E_8times E_8$ and $Spin(32)/mathbb{Z}_2$ gauge fields. This will be demonstrated by […]

Enhanced Monochromatic Photon Emission from Millicharged Co-Interacting Dark Matter

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Mingxuan Du, Jia Liu, Xiao-Ping Wang, Tianhao Wu, | Summary: We study a millicharged co-interacting dark matter scenario, where the primary dark matter constituent is the dark photon $A’$ and the secondary component is the fermion $chi$. In this model, $chi$ interacts with $A’$ via a $U(1)’$ […]

Strength Lies in Differences! Towards Effective Non-collaborative Dialogues via Tailored Strategy Planning

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Tong Zhang, Chen Huang, Yang Deng, Hongru Liang, Jia Liu | Summary: We investigate non-collaborative dialogue agents that must engage in tailored strategic planning for diverse users to secure a favorable agreement. This poses challenges for existing dialogue agents due to two main reasons: their inability to […]

Impact of baryonic feedback on HSC Y1 weak lensing non-Gaussian statistics

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Daniela Grandón, Gabriela A. Marques, Leander Thiele, Sihao Cheng, Masato Shirasaki | Summary: Baryonic feedback is a major systematic in weak lensing cosmology. Its most studied effect is the suppression of the lensing power spectrum, a second-order statistic, on small scales. Motivated by the growing interest in […]

Search for a $μ^+μ^-$ resonance in four-muon final states at Belle II

Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: Belle II Collaboration, I. Adachi, K. Adamczyk, L. Aggarwal, H. Ahmed | Summary: We report on a search for a resonance $X$ decaying to a pair of muons in $e^{+}e^{-}rightarrow mu^+ mu^- X$ events in the 0.212-9.000 GeV/$c^{2}$ mass range, using 178 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected by […]
