FLTrust: Byzantine-robust Federated Learning via Trust Bootstrapping

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Xiaoyu Cao, Minghong Fang, Jia Liu, Neil Zhenqiang Gong, | Summary: Byzantine-robust federated learning aims to enable a service provider to learn an accurate global model when a bounded number of clients are malicious. The key idea of existing Byzantine-robust federated learning methods is that the service […]

Gravitational wave constraints on the primordial black hole dominated early universe

Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | First 5 Authors: Guillem Domènech, Chunshan Lin, Misao Sasaki, , | Summary: We calculate the gravitational waves (GWs) induced by the density fluctuations due to inhomogeneous distribution of primordial black holes (PBHs) in the case where PBHs eventually dominate and reheat the universe by Hawking evaporation. The initial PBH density […]

W=0 Complex Structure Moduli Stabilization on CM-type K3 x K3 Orbifolds:—Arithmetic, Geometry and Particle Physics—

Kavli Affiliate: Taizan Watari | First 5 Authors: Keita Kanno, Taizan Watari, , , | Summary: It is an important question in string compactification whether complex structure moduli stabilization inevitably ends up with a vacuum expectation value of the superpotential < W > of the order of the Planck scale cubed. Any thoughts on volume […]

Minkowski functionals and the nonlinear perturbation theory in the large-scale structure: second-order effects

Kavli Affiliate: Chiaki Hikage | First 5 Authors: Takahiko Matsubara, Chiaki Hikage, Satoshi Kuriki, , | Summary: The second-order formula of Minkowski functionals in weakly non-Gaussian fields is compared with the numerical $N$-body simulations. Recently, weakly non-Gaussian formula of Minkowski functionals is extended to include the second-order effects of non-Gaussianity in general dimensions. We apply […]

Constraints on the rate of supernovae lasting for more than a year from Subaru/Hyper Suprime-Cam

Kavli Affiliate: Naoki Yasuda | First 5 Authors: Takashi J. Moriya, Ji-an Jiang, Naoki Yasuda, Mitsuru Kokubo, Kojiro Kawana | Summary: Some supernovae such as pair-instability supernovae are predicted to have the duration of more than a year in the observer frame. To constrain the rates of supernovae lasting for more than a year, we […]

Non-perturbative Effects on Electroweakly Interacting Massive Particles at Hadron Collider

Kavli Affiliate: Satoshi Shirai | First 5 Authors: Taisuke Katayose, Shigeki Matsumoto, Satoshi Shirai, , | Summary: Electroweakly Interacting Massive Particles (EWIMPs), in other words, new massive particles that are charged under the electroweak interaction of the Standard Model (SM), are often predicted in various new physics models. EWIMPs are probed at hadron collider experiments […]

Flavor Triangle of the Diffuse Supernova Neutrino Background

Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Zahra Tabrizi, Shunsaku Horiuchi, , , | Summary: Although Galactic core-collapse supernovae (SNe) only happen a few times per century, every hour a vast number of explosions happen in the whole universe, emitting energy in the form of neutrinos, resulting in the diffuse supernova neutrino background (DSNB). […]

Affleck-Dine inflation in supergravity

Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Kawasaki | First 5 Authors: Masahiro Kawasaki, Shusuke Ueda, , , | Summary: Affleck-Dine inflation is a recently proposed model in which a single complex scalar field, nonminimally coupled to gravity, drives inflation and simultaneously generates the baryon asymmetry of universe via Affleck-Dine mechanism. In this paper we investigate the supersymmetric implementation […]
