Humans use local spectrotemporal correlations to detect rising and falling pitch

Kavli Affiliate: Damon Clark | Authors: Parisa A Vaziri, Samuel D McDougle and Damon A Clark | Summary: To discern speech or appreciate music, the human auditory system detects how pitch increases or decreases over time. However, the algorithms used to detect changes in pitch, or pitch motion, are incompletely understood. Here, using psychophysics, computational […]

EDEN: Exploring Disks Embedded in N-body simulations of Milky-Way-mass halos from Symphony

Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Yunchong Wang, Philip Mansfield, Ethan O. Nadler, Elise Darragh-Ford, Risa H. Wechsler | Summary: We investigate the impact of galactic disks on the tidal stripping of cold dark matter subhalos within Milky Way (MW)-mass halos ($M_{rm vir}sim 10^{12}mathrm{M_{odot}}$) using a new simulation suite, EDEN. By re-simulating […]

Phonon screening of excitons in atomically thin semiconductors

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey B. Neaton | First 5 Authors: Woncheol Lee, Antonios M. Alvertis, Zhenglu Li, Steven G. Louie, Marina R. Filip | Summary: Atomically thin semiconductors, encompassing both 2D materials and quantum wells, exhibit a pronounced enhancement of excitonic effects due to geometric confinement. Consequently, these materials have become foundational platforms for the exploration […]

Spatial 3D genome organization controls the activity of bivalent chromatin during human neurogenesis

Kavli Affiliate: Arnold R. Kriegstein | Authors: Sajad Hamid Ahanger, Chujing Zhang, Evan R. Semenza, Eugene Gil, Mitchel A. Cole, Li Wang, Arnold R. Kriegstein and Daniel Lim | Summary: The nuclear genome is spatially organized into a three-dimensional (3D) architecture by physical association of large chromosomal domains with subnuclear compartments including the nuclear lamina […]

Notes on Characterizations of 2d Rational SCFTs: Algebraicity, Mirror Symmetry and Complex Multiplication

Kavli Affiliate: Taizan Watari | Summary:These notes combine results from two papers by the present authors viz., Part I (arXiv:2205.10299) and Part II (arXiv:2212.13028) into one streamlined version for better readability, along with a review on theory of complex multiplication for non-singular complex projective varieties and complex tori that is aimed at string theorists. We […]

Tensionless AdS$_3$/CFT$_2$ and Single Trace $ToverlineT$

Kavli Affiliate: Savdeep Sethi | Summary:One of the few cases of AdS/CFT where both sides of the duality are under good control relates tensionless $k=1$ strings on AdS$_3$ to a two-dimensional symmetric product CFT. Building on prior observations, we propose an exact duality between string theory on a spacetime which is not asymptotically AdS and […]

Intermittent Semi-working Mask: A New Masking Paradigm for LLMs

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Mingcong Lu, Jiangcai Zhu, Wang Hao, Zheng Li, Shusheng Zhang | Summary: Multi-turn dialogues are a key interaction method between humans and Large Language Models (LLMs), as conversations extend over multiple rounds, keeping LLMs’ high generation quality and low latency is a challenge. Mainstream LLMs can be […]

Discovery of Dynamical Heterogeneity in a Supercooled Magnetic Monopole Fluid

Kavli Affiliate: J. C. Seamus Davis | Summary:Dynamical heterogeneity, in which transitory local fluctuations occur in the conformation and dynamics of constituent particles, is widely hypothesized to be essential to evolution of supercooled liquids into the glass state. Yet its microscopic spatiotemporal phenomenology has remained unobservable in virtually all molecular glass forming liquids. Because recent […]
