Kavli Affiliate: Yukinobu Toda | First 5 Authors: Yukinobu Toda, , , , | Summary: We show the existence of semiorthogonal decompositions of Donaldson-Thomas categories for $(-1)$-shifted cotangent derived stacks associated with $Theta$-stratifications on them. Our main result gives an analogue of window theorem for categorical DT theory, which has applications to d-critical analogue of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yukinobu Toda | First 5 Authors: Yukinobu Toda, , , , | Summary: We prove two kinds of $mathbb{Z}/2$-periodic Koszul duality equivalences for triangulated categories of matrix factorizations associated with $(-1)$-shifted cotangents over quasi-smooth affine derived schemes. We use this result to define $mathbb{Z}/2$-periodic version of Donaldson-Thomas categories for local surfaces, whose $mathbb{C}^{ast}$-equivariant […]
Kavli Affiliate: Austin J. Minnich | First 5 Authors: Nachiket R. Naik, Austin J. Minnich, , , | Summary: Silicon-germanium heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) are of interest as low-noise microwave amplifiers due to their competitive noise performance and low cost relative to III-V devices. The fundamental noise performance limits of HBTs are thus of interest, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Austin Joyce | First 5 Authors: Daniel Baumann, Wei-Ming Chen, Carlos Duaso Pueyo, Austin Joyce, Hayden Lee | Summary: Much of the structure of cosmological correlators is controlled by their singularities, which in turn are fixed in terms of flat-space scattering amplitudes. An important challenge is to interpolate between the singular limits to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yasunori Nomura | First 5 Authors: Kevin Langhoff, Chitraang Murdia, Yasunori Nomura, , | Summary: We study the redundancies in the global spacetime description of the eternally inflating multiverse using the quantum extremal surface prescription. We argue that a sufficiently large spatial region in a bubble universe has an entanglement island surrounding it. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Scott K. Cushing | First 5 Authors: Hanzhe Liu, Isabel M. Klein, Jonathan M. Michelsen, Scott K. Cushing, | Summary: Transient X-ray absorption techniques can measure ultrafast dynamics of the elemental edges in a material or multiple layer junction, giving them immense potential for deconvoluting concurrent processes. However, the interpretation of the photoexcited […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert A. Simcoe | First 5 Authors: Fakhri S. Zahedy, Hsiao-Wen Chen, Thomas M. Cooper, Erin T. Boettcher, Sean D. Johnson | Summary: (Abridged) We present a systematic investigation of physical conditions and elemental abundances in four optically thick Lyman-limit systems (LLSs) at $z=0.36-0.6$ discovered within the Cosmic Ultraviolet Baryon Survey (CUBS). CUBS […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lars Bildsten | First 5 Authors: Curtis McCully, Saurabh W. Jha, Richard A. Scalzo, D. Andrew Howell, Ryan J. Foley | Summary: Type Iax supernovae represent the largest class of peculiar white-dwarf supernovae. The type Iax SN~2012Z in NGC 1309 is the only white dwarf supernova with a detected progenitor system in pre-explosion […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert A. Simcoe | First 5 Authors: Anna-Christina Eilers, Joseph F. Hennawi, Frederick B. Davies, Robert A. Simcoe, | Summary: The extents of proximity zones of high-redshift quasars enable constraints on the timescales of quasar activity, which are fundamental for understanding the growth of the supermassive black holes (SMBHs) that power the quasars’ […]
Kavli Affiliate: George Ricker | First 5 Authors: Étienne Artigau, Guillaume Hébrard, Charles Cadieux, Thomas Vandal, Neil J. Cook | Summary: We present the discovery of an $18.5pm0.5$M$_{rm Jup}$ brown dwarf (BD) companion to the M0V star TOI-1278. The system was first identified through a percent-deep transit in TESS photometry; further analysis showed it to […]
