Kavli Affiliate: Hitoshi Murayama | First 5 Authors: Neil D. Barrie, Chengcheng Han, Hitoshi Murayama, , | Summary: We find that the triplet Higgs of the Type II seesaw mechanism can simultaneously generate the neutrino masses and observed baryon asymmetry, while playing a role in inflation. We survey the allowed parameter space and determine that […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mikhail Kapranov | First 5 Authors: Tobias Dyckerhoff, Mikhail Kapranov, Vadim Schechtman, Yan Soibelman, | Summary: We develop the theory of semi-orthogonal decompositions and spherical functors in the framework of stable $infty$-categories. Building on this, we study the relative Waldhausen S-construction $S_bullet(F)$ of a spherical functor $F$ and equip it with a natural […]
Kavli Affiliate: Masahito Yamazaki | First 5 Authors: Dmitry Galakhov, Wei Li, Masahito Yamazaki, , | Summary: We introduce a class of new algebras, the shifted quiver Yangians, as the BPS algebras for type IIA string theory on general toric Calabi-Yau three-folds. We construct representations of the shifted quiver Yangian from general subcrystals of the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Eiichiro Komatsu | First 5 Authors: Sam Young, Eiichiro Komatsu, Klaus Dolag, , | Summary: The thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect contains information about the thermal history of the universe, observable in maps of the Compton $y$ parameter; however, it does not contain information about the redshift of the sources. Recent papers have utilized a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tadayuki Takahashi | First 5 Authors: Yutaka Tsuzuki, Shin Watanabe, Shimpei Oishi, Nobuyuki Nakamura, Naoki Numadate | Summary: The methods to measure the polarization of the x-rays from highly charged heavy ions with a significantly higher accuracy than the existing technology is needed to explore relativistic and quantum electrodynamics (QED) effects including the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tom Melia | First 5 Authors: Weiguang Cao, Franz Herzog, Tom Melia, Jasper Roosmale Nepveu, | Summary: We renormalize massless scalar effective field theories (EFTs) to higher loop orders and higher orders in the EFT expansion. To facilitate EFT calculations with the R* renormalization method, we construct suitable operator bases using Hilbert series […]

Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | First 5 Authors: Yi-Fu Cai, Jie Jiang, Misao Sasaki, Valeri Vardanyan, Zihan Zhou | Summary: We propose a novel mechanism for enhancing the primordial gravitational waves without significantly affecting the curvature perturbations produced during inflation. This is achieved due to non-linear sourcing of resonantly amplified scalar field fluctuations. Our result […]
Kavli Affiliate: John D. Silverman | First 5 Authors: Shenli Tang, John D. Silverman, Xuheng Ding, Junyao Li, Khee-Gan Lee | Summary: We report on a spectroscopic program to search for dual quasars using Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) images of SDSS quasars which represent an important stage during galaxy mergers. Using Subaru/FOCAS and Gemini-N/GMOS, we […]
Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Kawasaki | First 5 Authors: Masahiro Kawasaki, Hiromasa Nakatsuka, Kazunori Nakayama, Toyokazu Sekiguchi, | Summary: The precision measurements of the cosmic microwave background power spectrum put a strong constraint on the dark matter annihilation cross section since the electromagnetic energy injection by the dark matter annihilation affects the ionization history of the […]
