Kavli Affiliate: N. C. Yeh | First 5 Authors: J. -K. Chang, C. -C. Hsu, S. -Y. Liu, C. -I Wu, M. Gharib | Summary: The environmental aging effect of doped graphene is investigated as a function of the organic doping species, humidity, and the number of graphene layers adjacent to the dopant by studies […]
Kavli Affiliate: David Muller | First 5 Authors: Christel Baier, Stefan Kiefer, Joachim Klein, David Müller, James Worrell | Summary: Unambiguous automata are nondeterministic automata in which every word has at most one accepting run. In this paper we give a polynomial-time algorithm for model checking discrete-time Markov chains against omega-regular specifications represented as unambiguous […]
Kavli Affiliate: Donald G. York | First 5 Authors: Ryan J. Oelkers, Lucas M. Macri, Lifan Wang, Michael C. B. Ashley, Xiangqun Cui | Summary: The Chinese Small Telescope ARray (CSTAR) carried out high-cadence time-series observations of 20.1 square degrees centered on the South Celestial Pole during the 2008, 2009 & 2010 winter seasons from […]
Kavli Affiliate: Juan I. Collar | First 5 Authors: Craig E. Aalseth, Juan I. Collar, Jim Colaresi, James E. Fast, Todd W. Hossbach | Summary: Recent progress on the development of very low noise high purity germanium ionization spectrometers has produced an instrument of 1.2 kg mass and excellent noise performance. The detector was installed […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yu V. Nazarov | First 5 Authors: E. Strambini, S. D’Ambrosio, F. Vischi, F. S. Bergeret, Yu. V. Nazarov | Summary: Multi-terminal superconducting Josephson junctions based on the proximity effect offer the bright opportunity to tailor non trivial quantum states in nanoscale weak-links. These structures can realize exotic topologies in multidimensions as, for […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yuji Tachikawa | First 5 Authors: Ofer Aharony, Yuji Tachikawa, Kiyonori Gomi, , | Summary: S-folds are generalizations of orientifolds in type IIB string theory, such that the geometric identifications are accompanied by non-trivial S-duality transformations. They were recently used by Garcia-Etxebarria and Regalado to provide the first construction of four dimensional N=3 […]

Kavli Affiliate: Edmund Bertschinger | First 5 Authors: Nina Abramzon, Patrice Benson, Edmund Bertschinger, Susan Blessing, Geraldine L. Cochran | Summary: Initiatives to increase the number, persistence, and success of women in physics in the US reach pre-teen girls through senior women. Programs exist at both the local and national levels. In addition, researchers have […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hiraku Nakajima | First 5 Authors: Alexander Braverman, Michael Finkelberg, Hiraku Nakajima, , | Summary: Consider the $3$-dimensional $mathcal N=4$ supersymmetric gauge theory associated with a compact Lie group $G_c$ and its quaternionic representation $mathbf M$. Physicists study its Coulomb branch, which is a noncompact hyper-K"ahler manifold with an $mathrm{SU}(2)$-action, possibly with singularities. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Catherine Grant | First 5 Authors: Xiaobo Li, Shu Zhang, Catherine Grant, Matteo Guainazzi, Eric Miller | Summary: We summarize the outcome of the 10th meeting of the International Astronomical Consortium for High Energy Calibration (IACHEC), held in Beijing (People’s Republic of China) in April 2015. Over 80 scientists directly involved in the […]
