Kavli Affiliate: Mark J. Bowick | First 5 Authors: Arthur Hernandez, Michael F. Staddon, Mark J. Bowick, M. Cristina Marchetti, Michael Moshe | Summary: Vertex Models, as used to describe cellular tissue, have an energy controlled by deviations of each cell area and perimeter from target values. The constrained nonlinear relation between area and perimeter […]
Kavli Affiliate: Matthew Fisher | First 5 Authors: James Hong, Matthew Fisher, Michaël Gharbi, Kayvon Fatahalian, | Summary: Human pose is a useful feature for fine-grained sports action understanding. However, pose estimators are often unreliable when run on sports video due to domain shift and factors such as motion blur and occlusions. This leads to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Matthew P. A. Fisher | First 5 Authors: Yaodong Li, Matthew P. A. Fisher, , , | Summary: We explore a class of "open" quantum circuit models with local decoherence ("noise") and local projective measurements, each respecting a global Z_2 symmetry. The model supports a spin glass phase where the Z_2 symmetry is […]

Kavli Affiliate: Matthew Fisher | First 5 Authors: Sanjeev Muralikrishnan, Siddhartha Chaudhuri, Noam Aigerman, Vladimir Kim, Matthew Fisher | Summary: We investigate the problem of training generative models on a very sparse collection of 3D models. We use geometrically motivated energies to augment and thus boost a sparse collection of example (training) models. We analyze […]
Kavli Affiliate: Matthew P. A. Fisher | First 5 Authors: Zhi-Cheng Yang, Yaodong Li, Matthew P. A. Fisher, Xiao Chen, | Summary: We explore a class of random tensor network models with “stabilizer” local tensors which we name Random Stabilizer Tensor Networks (RSTNs). For RSTNs defined on a two-dimensional square lattice, we perform extensive numerical […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark J. Bowick | First 5 Authors: Mark J. Bowick, Nikta Fakhri, M. Cristina Marchetti, Sriram Ramaswamy, | Summary: This article summarizes some of the open questions in the field of active matter that have emerged during Active20, a nine-week program held at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics (KITP) in Spring 2020. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Matthew Fisher | First 5 Authors: Pradyumna Reddy, Zhifei Zhang, Matthew Fisher, Hailin Jin, Zhaowen Wang | Summary: Fonts are ubiquitous across documents and come in a variety of styles. They are either represented in a native vector format or rasterized to produce fixed resolution images. In the first case, the non-standard representation […]
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: David Gross | First 5 Authors: Tim Fuchs, David Gross, Peter Jung, Felix Krahmer, Richard Kueng | Summary: Low-rank matrix recovery problems arise naturally as mathematical formulations of various inverse problems, such as matrix completion, blind deconvolution, and phase retrieval. Over the last two decades, a number of works have rigorously analyzed the […]
