ACT-DR5 Sunyaev-Zel’dovich Clusters: weak lensing mass calibration with KiDS

Kavli Affiliate: David N. Spergel | First 5 Authors: Naomi Clare Robertson, Cristóbal Sifón, Marika Asgari, Nicholas Battaglia, Maciej Bilicki | Summary: We present weak gravitational lensing measurements of a sample of 157 clusters within the Kilo Degree Survey (KiDS), detected with a $>5sigma$ thermal Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (SZ) signal by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT). Using […]

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 […]

Universal Gravitational Wave Signatures of Cosmological Solitons

Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | First 5 Authors: Kaloian D. Lozanov, Misao Sasaki, Volodymyr Takhistov, , | Summary: Cosmological solitonic objects such as monopoles, cosmic strings, domain walls, oscillons and Q-balls often appear in theories of the early Universe. We demonstrate that such scenarios are generically accompanied by a novel production source of gravitational waves […]

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 […]
