Astrocyte CCN1 stabilizes neural circuits in the adult brain

Kavli Affiliate: Nicola Allen | Authors: Laura Sancho, Matthew M Boisvert, Trinity Dawoodtabar, Jillybeth Burgado, Ellen Wang and Nicola J Allen | Summary: Neural circuits in many brain regions are refined by experience. Sensory circuits support higher plasticity at younger ages during critical periods – times of circuit refinement and maturation – and limit plasticity […]

Kitaev physics in the two-dimensional magnet NiPSe$_3$

Kavli Affiliate: Cheng Peng | First 5 Authors: Cheng Peng, Sougata Mardanya, Alexander N. Petsch, Vineet Kumar Sharma, Shuyi Li | Summary: The Kitaev interaction, found in candidate materials such as $alpha$-RuCl$_3$, occurs through the metal ($M$)-ligand ($X$)-metal ($M$) paths of the edge-sharing octahedra because the large spin-orbit coupling (SOC) on the metal atoms activates […]

Self-Supervised Learning for Time Series: Contrastive or Generative?

Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Ziyu Liu, Azadeh Alavi, Minyi Li, Xiang Zhang, | Summary: Self-supervised learning (SSL) has recently emerged as a powerful approach to learning representations from large-scale unlabeled data, showing promising results in time series analysis. The self-supervised representation learning can be categorized into two mainstream: contrastive and generative. […]

Analysis of singular subspaces under random perturbations

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Ke Wang, , , , | Summary: We present a comprehensive analysis of singular vector and singular subspace perturbations in the context of the signal plus random Gaussian noise matrix model. Assuming a low-rank signal matrix, we extend the Wedin-Davis-Kahan theorem in a fully generalized manner, applicable […]

On a $mathbbZ_3$-valued discrete topological term in 10d heterotic string theories

Kavli Affiliate: Yuji Tachikawa | Summary:We show that the low-energy effective actions of two ten-dimensional supersymmetric heterotic strings are different by a $mathbbZ_3$-valued discrete topological term even after we turn off the $E_8times E_8$ and $Spin(32)/mathbbZ_2$ gauge fields. This will be demonstrated by considering the inflow of normal bundle anomaly to the respective NS5-branes from […]
