Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Yi Zhou, Dingpeng Liao, Kun Zhang, Zijie Ma, Shikai Wu | Summary: The far-field resolution of optical imaging systems is restricted by the Abbe diffraction limit, a direct result of the wave nature of light. One successful technological approach to circumventing this limit is to reduce the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Felix Fischer | First 5 Authors: Javier Cembrano, Felix Fischer, Max Klimm, , | Summary: We give new bounds for the single-nomination model of impartial selection, a problem proposed by Holzman and Moulin (Econometrica, 2013). A selection mechanism, which may be randomized, selects one individual from a group of $n$ based on nominations […]

Kavli Affiliate: Dan Luo | First 5 Authors: Dan Luo, Lixin Zou, Qingyao Ai, Zhiyu Chen, Chenliang Li | Summary: The goal of unbiased learning to rank (ULTR) is to leverage implicit user feedback for optimizing learning-to-rank systems. Among existing solutions, automatic ULTR algorithms that jointly learn user bias models (i.e., propensity models) with unbiased […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wayne Hu | First 5 Authors: David Zegeye, Thomas Crawford, Wayne Hu, , | Summary: The thermal Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (tSZ) effect is a spectral distortion of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) resulting from inverse Compton scattering of CMB photons with electrons in the medium of galaxy clusters. The spectrum of the tSZ effect is […]
Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Calvin Preston, Alexandra Amon, George Efstathiou, , | Summary: Weak galaxy lensing surveys have consistently reported low values of the $S_8$ parameter compared to the $textit{Planck} Lambdarm{CDM}$ cosmology. Amon & Efstathiou (2022) used KiDS-1000 cosmic shear measurements to propose that this tension can be reconciled if the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Renxin Xu | First 5 Authors: Chen Zhang, Yong Gao, Cheng-Jun Xia, Renxin Xu, | Summary: Solid states of strange-cluster matter called strangeon matter can form strangeon stars that are highly compact. We show that strangeon matter and strangeon stars can be recast into dimensionless forms by a simple reparametrization and rescaling, through […]
Kavli Affiliate: Stephanie Wehner | First 5 Authors: Guus Avis, Robert Knegjens, Anders S. Sørensen, Stephanie Wehner, | Summary: Restrictions imposed by existing infrastructure can make it hard to ensure an even spacing between the nodes of future fiber-based quantum networks. We here investigate the negative effects of asymmetric node placement by considering separately the […]

Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Challinor | First 5 Authors: Nicholas Choustikov, Zvonimir Vlah, Anthony Challinor, , | Summary: Perturbation theory is a powerful tool for studying large-scale structure formation in the universe and calculating observables such as the power spectrum or bispectrum. However, beyond linear order, typically this is done by assuming a simplification in the […]
