Classification of chiral fermionic CFTs of central charge $le 16$

Kavli Affiliate: Yuji Tachikawa | First 5 Authors: Philip Boyle Smith, Ying-Hsuan Lin, Yuji Tachikawa, Yunqin Zheng, | Summary: We classify two-dimensional purely chiral conformal field theories which are defined on two-dimensional surfaces equipped with spin structure and have central charge less than or equal to 16, and discuss their duality webs. This result can […]

A diffuse scattering model of ultracold neutrons on wavy surfaces

Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: S. Imajo, H. Akatsuka, K. Hatanaka, T. Higuchi, G. Ichikawa | Summary: Metal tubes plated with nickel-phosphorus are used in many fundamental physics experiments using ultracold neutrons (UCN) because of their ease of fabrication. These tubes are usually polished to a average roughness of 25-150 nm. However, […]

Constraint on Early Dark Energy from Isotropic Cosmic Birefringence

Kavli Affiliate: Eiichiro Komatsu | First 5 Authors: Johannes R. Eskilt, Laura Herold, Eiichiro Komatsu, Kai Murai, Toshiya Namikawa | Summary: Polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) is sensitive to new physics violating parity symmetry, such as the presence of a pseudoscalar "axionlike" field. Such a field may be responsible for early dark energy […]

EMPRESS. XII. Statistics on the Dynamics and Gas Mass Fraction of Extremely-Metal Poor Galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Kawasaki | First 5 Authors: Yi Xu, Masami Ouchi, Yuki Isobe, Kimihiko Nakajima, Shinobu Ozaki | Summary: We present demography of the dynamics and gas-mass fraction of 33 extremely metal-poor galaxies (EMPGs) with metallicities of $0.015-0.195~Z_odot$ and low stellar masses of $10^4-10^8~M_odot$ in the local universe. We conduct deep optical integral-field spectroscopy […]

Learning Optical Flow and Scene Flow with Bidirectional Camera-LiDAR Fusion

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Haisong Liu, Tao Lu, Yihui Xu, Jia Liu, Limin Wang | Summary: In this paper, we study the problem of jointly estimating the optical flow and scene flow from synchronized 2D and 3D data. Previous methods either employ a complex pipeline that splits the joint task into […]
