Exploring Ultralight Scalar Assistance in Sterile Neutrino Dark Matter: Cold Spectrum and Unusual X/Gamma-ray Signatures

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Yuxuan He, Jia Liu, Xiaolin Ma, Xiao-Ping Wang, | Summary: We present a scalar-driven sterile neutrino production model where the interaction with the ultralight scalar field modifies the oscillation production of sterile neutrinos in the early universe. The model effectively suppresses the production of sterile neutrinos at […]

Measurement of $C!P$ violation in $B^{0}rightarrow K_{S}^{0}π^{0}$ decays at Belle II

Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: Belle II Collaboration, I. Adachi, K. Adamczyk, L. Aggarwal, H. Ahmed | Summary: We report a measurement of the $C!P$-violating parameters $A$ and $S$ in $B^{0}to K_{S}^{0} pi^{0}$ decays at Belle II using a sample of $387times 10^{6}$ $Bbar{B}$ events recorded in $e^{+}e^{-}$ collisions at a center-of-mass […]

Anderson self-duality of topological modular forms, its differential-geometric manifestations, and vertex operator algebras

Kavli Affiliate: Yuji Tachikawa | First 5 Authors: Yuji Tachikawa, Mayuko Yamashita, , , | Summary: Inspired by consideration in heterotic string theory, we construct a morphism of spectra from $mathrm{KO}((q))/mathrm{TMF}$ to $Sigma^{-20}I_{mathbb{Z}} mathrm{TMF}$, which we show to be an isomorphism and to implement the Anderson self-duality of $mathrm{TMF}$. We will use this to factor […]

Distributionally robust chance constrained Markov decision process with Kullback-Leibler divergence

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Tian Xia, Jia Liu, Abdel Lisser, , | Summary: This paper considers the distributionally robust chance constrained Markov decision process with random reward and ambiguous reward distribution. We consider individual and joint chance constraint cases with Kullback-Leibler divergence based ambiguity sets centered at elliptical distributions or elliptical […]

The Classical Equations of Motion of Quantized Gauge Theories, Part I: General Relativity

Kavli Affiliate: Tom Melia | First 5 Authors: David E. Kaplan, Tom Melia, Surjeet Rajendran, , | Summary: In this and a companion paper, we show that quantum field theories with gauge symmetries permit a broader class of classical dynamics than typically assumed. In this article, we show that the dynamics extracted from the path […]

The origin of long soft lags and the nature of the hard-intermediate state in black hole binaries

Kavli Affiliate: Tadayuki Takahashi | First 5 Authors: Tenyo Kawamura, Chris Done, Tadayuki Takahashi, , | Summary: Fast variability of the X-ray corona in black hole binaries can produce a soft lag by reverberation, where the reprocessed thermalized disc photons lag behind the illuminating hard X-rays. This lag is small, and systematically decreases with increasing […]
