Dai-Freed anomaly in the standard model and topological inflation

Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Kawasaki | First 5 Authors: Masahiro Kawasaki, Tsutomu T. Yanagida, , , | Summary: When we impose the discrete symmetry in the standard model we have Dai-Freed global anomalies. However, interestingly if we introduce three right-handed neutrinos we can have an anomaly-free discrete $Z_4$ gauge symmetry. This $Z_4$ symmetry should be spontaneously […]

Subsystem Non-Invertible Symmetry Operators and Defects

Kavli Affiliate: Masahito Yamazaki | First 5 Authors: Weiguang Cao, Linhao Li, Masahito Yamazaki, Yunqin Zheng, | Summary: We explore non-invertible symmetries in two-dimensional lattice models with subsystem $mathbb Z_2$ symmetry. We introduce a subsystem $mathbb Z_2$-gauging procedure, called the subsystem Kramers-Wannier transformation, which generalizes the ordinary Kramers-Wannier transformation. The corresponding duality operators and defects […]

Cosmological constraints from HSC Y1 lensing convergence PDF

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Leander Thiele, Gabriela A. Marques, Jia Liu, Masato Shirasaki, | Summary: We utilize the probability distribution function (PDF) of normalized convergence maps reconstructed from the Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) Y1 shear catalogue, in combination with the power spectrum, to measure the matter clustering amplitude $S_8=sigma_8sqrt{Omega_m/0.3}$. The large-scale […]

Investigation of the concurrent effects of ALP-photon and ALP-electron couplings in Collider and Beam Dump Searches

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Jia Liu, Yan Luo, Muyuan Song, , | Summary: Axion-like particles (ALPs) have been studied in numerous experiments to search for their interactions, but most studies have focused on deriving bounds for the single coupling. However, in ultraviolet (UV) models, these couplings can appear simultaneously, and their […]

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: DR6 Gravitational Lensing Map and Cosmological Parameters

Kavli Affiliate: David N. Spergel | First 5 Authors: Mathew S. Madhavacheril, Frank J. Qu, Blake D. Sherwin, Niall MacCrann, Yaqiong Li | Summary: We present cosmological constraints from a gravitational lensing mass map covering 9400 sq. deg. reconstructed from CMB measurements made by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) from 2017 to 2021. In combination […]

Reflection Vectors and Quantum Cohomology of Blowups

Kavli Affiliate: Todor Milanov | First 5 Authors: Todor Milanov, Xiaokun Xia, , , | Summary: Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety with a semisimple quantum cohomology. It is known that the blowup $operatorname{Bl}_{rm pt}(X)$ of $X$ at one point also has semisimple quantum cohomology. In particular, the monodromy group of the quantum cohomology […]

Hyper Suprime-Cam Year 3 Results: Cosmology from Galaxy Clustering and Weak Lensing with HSC and SDSS using the Minimal Bias Model

Kavli Affiliate: Hitoshi Murayama | First 5 Authors: Sunao Sugiyama, Hironao Miyatake, Surhud More, Xiangchong Li, Masato Shirasaki | Summary: We present cosmological parameter constraints from a blind joint analysis of three two-point correlation functions measured from the Year 3 Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC-Y3) imaging data, covering 416 deg$^2$, and the SDSS DR11 spectroscopic galaxies spanning […]
