Ultrafast Spontaneous Exciton Dissociation via Phonon Emission in BiVO$_4$

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey B. Neaton | First 5 Authors: Stephen E. Gant, Antonios M. Alvertis, Christopher J. N. Coveney, Jonah B. Haber, Marina R. Filip | Summary: Monoclinic bismuth vanadate (m-BiVO$_4$) is a promising indirect band gap semiconductor for photoelectrochemical water splitting, yet the characteristics of its low-lying photoexcitations, or excitons, remain poorly understood. Here, […]

Massive Black Holes Seeded by Dark Matter — Implications for Little Red Dots and Gravitational Wave Signatures

Tingwei Shen, Xuejian Shen, Huangyu Xiao, Mark Vogelsberger, Fangzhou Jiang | Summary: [[{“value”:”Observations of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at high redshifts challenge standard seeding scenarios. We examine a dissipative self-interacting dark matter (dSIDM) model in which gravothermal collapse leads to the formation of massive BH seeds ab initio. We utilize a semi-analytical framework to predict […]

High Energy Emission from the Intrabinary Shocks in Redback Pulsars

Kavli Affiliate: Roger W. Romani | First 5 Authors: Andrew G. Sullivan, Roger W. Romani, , , | Summary: The intrabinary shocks (IBS) of spider pulsars emit non-thermal synchrotron X-rays from accelerated electrons and positrons in the shocked pulsar wind, likely energized by magnetic reconnection. In redback spider pulsars, the IBS typically wraps around the […]

Universality of Rényi Entropy in Conformal Field Theory

Kavli Affiliate: Hirosi Ooguri | First 5 Authors: Yuya Kusuki, Hirosi Ooguri, Sridip Pal, , | Summary: We use the thermal effective theory to prove that, for the vacuum state in any conformal field theory in $d$ dimensions, the $n$-th R’enyi entropy $S_A^{(n)}$ behaves as $S_A^{(n)} = frac{f}{(2pi n)^{d-1}} frac{ {rm Area}(partial A)}{(d-2)epsilon^{d-2}}left(1+O(n)right)$ in the […]

HumanDreamer: Generating Controllable Human-Motion Videos via Decoupled Generation

Kavli Affiliate: Zheng Zhu | First 5 Authors: Boyuan Wang, Xiaofeng Wang, Chaojun Ni, Guosheng Zhao, Zhiqin Yang | Summary: Human-motion video generation has been a challenging task, primarily due to the difficulty inherent in learning human body movements. While some approaches have attempted to drive human-centric video generation explicitly through pose control, these methods […]

Rethinking Key-Value Cache Compression Techniques for Large Language Model Serving

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Wei Gao, Xinyu Zhou, Peng Sun, Tianwei Zhang, Yonggang Wen | Summary: Key-Value cache (texttt{KV} texttt{cache}) compression has emerged as a promising technique to optimize Large Language Model (LLM) serving. It primarily decreases the memory consumption of texttt{KV} texttt{cache} to reduce the computation cost. Despite the development […]

MAER-Nav: Bidirectional Motion Learning Through Mirror-Augmented Experience Replay for Robot Navigation

Kavli Affiliate: Biao Huang | First 5 Authors: Shanze Wang, Mingao Tan, Zhibo Yang, Biao Huang, Xiaoyu Shen | Summary: Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) based navigation methods have demonstrated promising results for mobile robots, but suffer from limited action flexibility in confined spaces. Conventional DRL approaches predominantly learn forward-motion policies, causing robots to become trapped […]
