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 […]

We calculate the first two coefficients, the topological susceptibility $chi$ and the fourth cumulant $b_2$, in the $theta$-expansion of […]

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 […]

Kavli Affiliate: Tadayuki Takahashi | First 5 Authors: Steven Christe, Lindsay Glesener, Camilo Buitrago-Casas, Shin-Nosuke Ishikawa, Brian Ramsey | Summary: The Focusing Optics X-ray Solar Imager (FOXSI) sounding rocket payload flew for the second time on 2014 December 11. To enable direct Hard X-Ray (HXR) imaging spectroscopy, FOXSI makes use of grazing-incidence replicated focusing optics […]

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 $U(1)’$ […]

Kavli Affiliate: Yasunori Nomura | First 5 Authors: Andreas Blommaert, Chang-Han Chen, Yasunori Nomura, , | Summary: We consider a version of the typical state firewall setup recently reintroduced by Stanford and Yang, who found that wormholes may create firewalls. We examine a late-time double scaling limit in JT gravity in which one can resum […]

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 […]

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Tong Zhang, Chen Huang, Yang Deng, Hongru Liang, Jia Liu | Summary: We investigate non-collaborative dialogue agents, which are expected to engage in strategic conversations with diverse users, for securing a mutual agreement that leans favorably towards the system’s objectives. This poses two main challenges for existing […]
