Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Madyson G. Barber, Andrew W. Mann, Andrew Vanderburg, Daniel Krolikowski, Adam Kraus | Summary: Astronomers have found more than a dozen planets transiting 10-40 million year old stars, but even younger transiting planets have remained elusive. A possible reason for the lack of such discoveries is that […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Dongheng Qian, Huan Wang, Jing Wang, , | Summary: The quantum Mpemba effect (QME) describes the counterintuitive phenomenon in which a system farther from equilibrium reaches steady state faster than one closer to equilibrium. However, ambiguity in defining a suitable distance measure between quantum states has led […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Joseph Bramante, Katherine Mack, Nirmal Raj, Lijing Shao, Narayani Tyagi | Summary: Neutron stars provide a compelling testing ground for gravity, nuclear dynamics, and physics beyond the Standard Model, and so it will be useful to locate the neutron stars nearest to Earth. To that end, we […]
Kavli Affiliate: Eliska Greplova | First 5 Authors: Guliuxin Jin, D. O. Oriekhov, Lukas Johannes Splitthoff, Eliska Greplova, | Summary: Topological phases of matter have been widely studied for their robustness against impurities and disorder. The broad applicability of topological materials relies on the reliable transition from idealized, mathematically perfect models to finite, real-world implementations. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Cheng Peng | First 5 Authors: Kaiwen Jiang, Venkataram Sivaram, Cheng Peng, Ravi Ramamoorthi, | Summary: Geometric reconstruction of opaque surfaces from images is a longstanding challenge in computer vision, with renewed interest from volumetric view synthesis algorithms using radiance fields. We leverage the geometry field proposed in recent work for stochastic opaque […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Yuchen Ling, Shengcheng Yu, Chunrong Fang, Guobin Pan, Jun Wang | Summary: Context: Crowdsourced testing has gained popularity in software testing, especially for mobile app testing, due to its ability to bring diversity and tackle fragmentation issues. However, the openness of crowdsourced testing presents challenges, particularly in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Salman Habib | First 5 Authors: Cooper Jacobus, Solene Chabanier, Peter Harrington, JD Emberson, Zarija Lukić | Summary: The next generation of cosmological spectroscopic sky surveys will probe the distribution of matter across several Gigaparsecs (Gpc) or many billion light-years. In order to leverage the rich data in these new maps to gain […]
Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Pouya M. Kouch, Ioannis Liodakis, Francesco Fenu, Haocheng Zhang, Stella Boula | Summary: The X-ray polarization observations made possible with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) offer new ways of probing high-energy emission processes in astrophysical jets from blazars. Here we report on the first X-ray […]
Kavli Affiliate: David N. Spergel | First 5 Authors: Gregory Gabadadze, David N. Spergel, Giorgi Tukhashvili, , | Summary: We study inflation in a recently proposed gravitational effective field theory describing the trace anomaly. The theory requires an additional scalar which is massless in the early universe. This scalar — referenced as an anomalyon — […]
Kavli Affiliate: Emil J. Martinec | First 5 Authors: Emil J. Martinec, Yoav Zigdon, , , | Summary: An effective action for NS5-branes coupled to supergravity is used to derive the full 10d form of horizon-free BPS solutions of fivebranes carrying momentum waves, including both transverse scalar and internal gauge excitations of the branes. When […]
