Impact of Anisotropic Birefringence on Measuring Cosmic Microwave Background Lensing

Kavli Affiliate: Toshiya Namikawa | First 5 Authors: Hongbo Cai, Yilun Guan, Toshiya Namikawa, Arthur Kosowsky, | Summary: The power spectrum of cosmic microwave background lensing is a powerful tool for constraining fundamental physics such as the sum of neutrino masses and the dark energy equation of state. Current lensing measurements primarily come from distortions […]

Categorical and K-theoretic Donaldson-Thomas theory of $mathbb{C}^3$ (part II)

Kavli Affiliate: Yukinobu Toda | First 5 Authors: Tudor Pădurariu, Yukinobu Toda, , , | Summary: Quasi-BPS categories appear as summands in semiorthogonal decompositions of DT categories for Hilbert schemes of points in the three dimensional affine space and in the categorical Hall algebra of the two dimensional affine space. In this paper, we prove […]

Measurement of the branching fractions and $CP$ asymmetries of $B^+ rightarrow π^+ π^0$ and $B^+ rightarrow K^+ π^0$ decays in 2019-2021 Belle II data

Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: Belle II Collaboration, F. Abudinén, I. Adachi, K. Adamczyk, L. Aggarwal | Summary: We determine the branching fractions ${mathcal{B}}$ and $CP$ asymmetries ${mathcal{A}_{{it CP}}}$ of the decays $B^+ rightarrow pi^+ pi^0$ and $B^+ rightarrow K^+ pi^0$. The results are based on a data set containing 198 million […]

Gravitational waves from rapid structure formation on microscopic scales before matter-radiation equality

Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | First 5 Authors: Marcos M. Flores, Alexander Kusenko, Misao Sasaki, , | Summary: The existence of scalar fields can be probed by observations of stochastic gravitational waves. Scalar fields mediate attractive forces, usually stronger than gravity, on the length scales shorter than their Compton wavelengths, which can be non-negligible in […]

Light Curves and Event Rates of Axion Instability Supernovae

Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Kanji Mori, Takashi J. Moriya, Tomoya Takiwaki, Kei Kotake, Shunsaku Horiuchi | Summary: It was recently proposed that exotic particles can trigger a new stellar instability which is analogous to the e-e+ pair instability if they are produced and reach equilibrium in the stellar plasma. In this […]

Opening the era of quasar host studies at high redshift with JWST

Kavli Affiliate: John D. Silverman | First 5 Authors: Xuheng Ding, John D. Silverman, Masafusa Onoue, , | Summary: We measure the host galaxy properties of five quasars with $zsim 1.6 – 3.5$ selected from SDSS and AEGIS, which fall within the JWST/HST CEERS survey area. A PSF library is constructed based on stars in […]

PROBs and perverse sheaves II. Ran spaces and 0-cycles with coefficients

Kavli Affiliate: Mikhail Kapranov | First 5 Authors: Mikhail Kapranov, Vadim Schechtman, , , | Summary: We consider the space Z(C,L) of 0-cycles on the complex line C with coefficients in a commutative monoid L subject to certain conditions. Such spaces include the symmetric products (for L=Z_+) and the Ran space (for L=T={ True, False} […]
