Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | First 5 Authors: Hyunsung D. Jun, Roberto J. Assef, Christopher M. Carroll, Ryan C. Hickox, Yonghwi Kim | Summary: The absence of high Eddington ratio, obscured Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) in local ($zlesssim0.1$) samples of moderate luminosity AGN has generally been explained to result from radiation pressure on the dusty […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrei Faraon | First 5 Authors: Conner Ballew, Gregory Roberts, Philip Camayd-Muñoz, Maximilien F Debbas, Andrei Faraon | Summary: Metasurfaces advanced the field of optics by reducing the thickness of optical components and merging multiple functionalities into a single layer device. However, this generally comes with a reduction in performance, especially for multifunctional […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Brenner | First 5 Authors: Carl P. Goodrich, Ella M. King, Samuel S. Schoenholz, Ekin D. Cubuk, Michael Brenner | Summary: The inverse problem of designing component interactions to target emergent structure is fundamental to numerous applications in biotechnology, materials science, and statistical physics. Equally important is the inverse problem of designing […]
Kavli Affiliate: Christopher J. Burke | First 5 Authors: Steve Bryson, Michelle Kunimoto, Ravi K. Kopparapu, Jeffrey L. Coughlin, William J. Borucki | Summary: We present occurrence rates for rocky planets in the habitable zones (HZ) of main-sequence dwarf stars based on the Kepler DR25 planet candidate catalog and Gaia-based stellar properties. We provide the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Challinor | First 5 Authors: Thibaut Louis, Sigurd Naess, Xavier Garrido, Anthony Challinor, | Summary: We present a simple approximation that can speed up the computation of the mode-coupling matrices, which are usually the bottleneck for computing unbiased angular power spectra, as well as their associated covariance matrices, of the cosmic microwave […]
Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Challinor | First 5 Authors: Antón Baleato Lizancos, Anthony Challinor, Julien Carron, , | Summary: Efforts to detect a primordial $B$-mode of CMB polarization generated by inflationary gravitational waves ought to mitigate the large variance associated with the $B$-modes produced by gravitational lensing, a process known as delensing. A popular approach to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Changhuei Yang | First 5 Authors: Jian Xu, Ali K. Jahromi, Changhuei Yang, , | Summary: Diffusing wave spectroscopy (DWS) is a well-known set of methods to measure the temporal dynamics of dynamic samples. In DWS, dynamic samples scatter the incident coherent light, and the information of the temporal dynamics is encoded in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Philip J. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Sebastian Wagner-Carena, Ji Won Park, Simon Birrer, Philip J. Marshall, Aaron Roodman | Summary: In the past few years, approximate Bayesian Neural Networks (BNNs) have demonstrated the ability to produce statistically consistent posteriors on a wide range of inference problems at unprecedented speed and scale. However, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mihoko M. Nojiri | First 5 Authors: Sung Hak Lim, Mihoko M. Nojiri, , , | Summary: We introduce a jet tagger based on a neural network analyzing the Minkowski Functionals (MFs) of pixellated jet images. The MFs are geometric measures of binary images, and they can be regarded as a generalization of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrei Okounkov | First 5 Authors: Andrei Okounkov, , , , | Summary: We generalize the construction of elliptic stable envelopes to actions of connected reductive groups and give a direct inductive proof of their existence and uniqueness in a rather general situation. We show these have powerful enumerative applications, in particular, to […]
