MAXI J1820+070 X-ray spectral-timing reveals the nature of the accretion flow in black hole binaries

Kavli Affiliate: Tadayuki Takahashi | First 5 Authors: Tenyo Kawamura, Chris Done, Magnus Axelsson, Tadayuki Takahashi, | Summary: Black hole X-ray binaries in the low/hard states display significant broad-band (stochastic) variability on short time-scales (0.01-100 seconds), with a complex pattern of lags in correlated variability seen in different energy bands. This behaviour is generally interpreted […]

Towards a nonperturbative construction of the $S$-matrix

Kavli Affiliate: Hitoshi Murayama | First 5 Authors: Brian Henning, Hitoshi Murayama, Francesco Riva, Jedidiah O. Thompson, Matthew T. Walters | Summary: We present a nonperturbative recipe for directly computing the $S$-matrix in strongly-coupled QFTs. The method makes use of spectral data obtained in a Hamiltonian framework and can be applied to a wide range […]

On ${mathcal N}=4$ supersymmetry enhancements in three dimensions

Kavli Affiliate: Yuji Tachikawa | First 5 Authors: Benjamin Assel, Yuji Tachikawa, Alessandro Tomasiello, , | Summary: We introduce a class of 3d theories consisting of strongly-coupled ${mathcal N}=4$ systems coupled to ${mathcal N}=3$ Chern-Simons gauge multiplets, which exhibit ${mathcal N}=4$ enhancements when a peculiar condition on the Chern-Simons levels is met. An example is […]

Robust Domain Adaptation for Machine Reading Comprehension

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Liang Jiang, Zhenyu Huang, Jia Liu, Zujie Wen, Xi Peng | Summary: Most domain adaptation methods for machine reading comprehension (MRC) use a pre-trained question-answer (QA) construction model to generate pseudo QA pairs for MRC transfer. Such a process will inevitably introduce mismatched pairs (i.e., noisy correspondence) […]

Theory Techniques for Precision Physics — Snowmass 2021 TF06 Topical Group Report

Kavli Affiliate: Tom Melia | First 5 Authors: Radja Boughezal, Zoltan Ligeti, Wolfgang Altmannshofer, Supratim Das Bakshi, Fabrizio Caola | Summary: The wealth of experimental data collected at laboratory experiments suggests that there is some scale separation between the Standard Model (SM) and phenomena beyond the SM (BSM). New phenomena can manifest itself as small […]

Measurement of decay-time dependent $CP$ violation in $B^0 rightarrow K^0_S K^0_S K^0_S$ using 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 report a measurement of decay-time dependent $CP$-violating parameters in $B^0 rightarrow K^0_S K^0_S K^0_S$ decays. We use $(198.0 pm 3.0) times 10^6 Boverline{B}$ pairs collected at the $Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle II […]

Dynamics of Simplest Chiral Gauge Theories

Kavli Affiliate: Hitoshi Murayama | First 5 Authors: Dan Kondo, Hitoshi Murayama, Cameron Sylber, , | Summary: Arguably, the simplest chiral gauge theories are $mathrm{SO}(10)$ with $N_f$ fermion fields in the spinor representation {bf 16}. We study their dynamics using their supersymmetric limits perturbed by an infinitesimal anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking as a guide. We predict […]

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 […]
