The Impact of Population III.1 Flash Reionization for CMB Polarization and Thomson Scattering Optical Depth

Kavli Affiliate: Eiichiro Komatsu | First 5 Authors: Jonathan C. Tan, Jonathan C. Tan, , , | Summary: The Population III.1 theory for supermassive black hole (SMBH) formation predicts a very early ($zsim20-25$), transient phase, “The Flash”, of cosmic reionization powered by supermassive stars that are SMBH progenitors. The universe then quickly recombined to become […]

VGD: Visual Geometry Gaussian Splatting for Feed-Forward Surround-view Driving Reconstruction

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Junhong Lin, Junhong Lin, , , | Summary: Feed-forward surround-view autonomous driving scene reconstruction offers fast, generalizable inference ability, which faces the core challenge of ensuring generalization while elevating novel view quality. Due to the surround-view with minimal overlap regions, existing methods typically fail to ensure geometric […]

GigaBrain-0: A World Model-Powered Vision-Language-Action Model

Kavli Affiliate: Zheng Zhu | First 5 Authors: GigaBrain Team, GigaBrain Team, , , | Summary: Training Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models for generalist robots typically requires large-scale real-world robot data, which is expensive and time-consuming to collect. The inefficiency of physical data collection severely limits the scalability, and generalization capacity of current VLA systems. To address […]

Control of out-of-plane anti-damping spin torque with a canted ferromagnetic spin source

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel C. Ralph | First 5 Authors: Xiaoxi Huang, Xiaoxi Huang, , , | Summary: To achieve efficient anti-damping switching of nanoscale magnetic memories with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy using spin-orbit torque requires that the anti-damping spin-orbit torque have a strong out-of-plane component. The spin anomalous Hall effect and the planar Hall effect spin […]

Impartial Selection with Predictions

Kavli Affiliate: Felix Fischer | First 5 Authors: Javier Cembrano, Javier Cembrano, , , | Summary: We study the selection of agents based on mutual nominations, a theoretical problem with many applications from committee selection to AI alignment. As agents both select and are selected, they may be incentivized to misrepresent their true opinion about […]

Galaxy Activity, Torus and Outflow Survey (GATOS) X: Molecular gas clumpiness under the influence of AGN

Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | First 5 Authors: Federico Esposito, Federico Esposito, , , | Summary: The distribution of molecular gas on small scales regulates star formation and the growth of supermassive black holes in galaxy centers, yet the role of active galactic nuclei (AGN) feedback in shaping this distribution remains poorly constrained. We investigate […]
