Formation Rate of Quasi-periodic Eruptions in Galactic Nuclei Containing Single and Dual Supermassive Black Holes

Kavli Affiliate: Xian Chen | First 5 Authors: Chunyang Cao, F. K. Liu, Xian Chen, Shuo Li, | Summary: Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are a novel class of transients recently discovered in a few extragalactic nuclei. It has been suggested that a QPE can be produced by a main-sequence star undergoing repeated partial disruptions by the […]

Fractionalized Kohn-Sham ansatz for strongly-correlated electrons

Kavli Affiliate: Zheng Zhu | First 5 Authors: Bo Zhao, Jingyu Zhao, Zheng Zhu, Jian Wu, Zheng Liu | Summary: We propose to expand the territory of density functional theory to strongly-correlated electrons by reformulating the Kohn-Sham ansatz in the representation of fractionalized particles. We call it the ”KS* ansatz”. Using inhomogeneous t-J chains as […]

Robust characterization of selectivity of individual neurons to distinct task-relevant behavioral states using calcium imaging

Kavli Affiliate: Shreesh P. Mysore | Authors: Huixin Huang, Garima Shah, Hita Adwanikar and Shreesh Mysore | Summary: Investigations into the neural basis of behavior have recently employed fluorescence imaging of calcium dynamics in a variety of brain areas to measure neural responses. However, across studies, diverse and seemingly subjective methodological choices have been made […]

Mapping cis- and trans-regulatory target genes of human-specific deletions

Kavli Affiliate: Alex Pollen | Authors: Tyler Fair, Bryan J Pavlovic, Dani Swope, Octavio E Castillo, Nathan K Schaefer and Alex Aaron Pollen | Summary: Deletion of functional sequence is predicted to represent a fundamental mechanism of molecular evolution. Comparative genetic studies of primates have identified thousands of human-specific deletions (hDels), and the cis-regulatory potential […]

Neutrino Diffusion within Dark Matter Spikes

Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Motoko Fujiwara, Gonzalo Herrera, Shunsaku Horiuchi, , | Summary: Multi-messenger observations of astrophysical transients provide powerful probes of the underlying physics of the source as well as beyond the Standard Model effects. We explore transients that can occur in the vicinity of supermassive black holes at the […]

PhyT2V: LLM-Guided Iterative Self-Refinement for Physics-Grounded Text-to-Video Generation

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Qiyao Xue, Xiangyu Yin, Boyuan Yang, Wei Gao, | Summary: Text-to-video (T2V) generation has been recently enabled by transformer-based diffusion models, but current T2V models lack capabilities in adhering to the real-world common knowledge and physical rules, due to their limited understanding of physical realism and deficiency […]

Multi-Agent System for Cosmological Parameter Analysis

Kavli Affiliate: Blake Sherwin | First 5 Authors: Andrew Laverick, Kristen Surrao, Inigo Zubeldia, Boris Bolliet, Miles Cranmer | Summary: Multi-agent systems (MAS) utilizing multiple Large Language Model agents with Retrieval Augmented Generation and that can execute code locally may become beneficial in cosmological data analysis. Here, we illustrate a first small step towards AI-assisted […]

A gravitational wave detectable candidate Type Ia supernova progenitor

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Emma T. Chickles, Kevin B. Burdge, Joheen Chakraborty, Vik S. Dhillon, Paul Draghis | Summary: Type Ia supernovae, critical for studying cosmic expansion, arise from thermonuclear explosions of white dwarfs, but their precise progenitor pathways remain unclear. Growing evidence supports the “double-degenerate” scenario, where two white dwarfs […]
