Most classical satellites of the Milky Way are known to display signs of tidal disturbance (e.g. tidal tails, substructures, and distorted shapes). This cannot be explained by the standard model of cosmology due to its prediction that the…
Pipe diagrams have emerged as a powerful framework for flexible lattice surgery compilation and spacetime optimization for the surface code. In contrast, analogous compilation techniques for color code architectures remain largely…
The final life stages of the massive star progenitors of stripped-envelope supernovae (SESNe) are still an open question, especially when it comes to the timing and magnitude of the progenitor stripping. Observing SESNe across the…
Rare top-quark decays offer a sensitive probe of charged Higgs bosons with masses below the top mass, owing to the large $t\bar t$ production rate at the LHC and the distinctive final states involving leptons and $b$-jets. While existing…
The outer regions of galactic halos represent the bridge connecting internal processes within the galaxy to the larger surrounding cosmic web. The gas in this bridge region is shaped by the competing processes of cold inflows from the web…
Eccentric planets constitute a large population of known exoplanets and may drive significant substructures in protoplanetary disks through planet-disk interactions if their eccentricities are excited early in the planet formation process.…
We propose a systematic framework for constructing six-dimensional supergravity theories with eight supercharges that respect all known consistency constraints, including anomaly cancellation and the non-perturbative ${\it H}$-string…
We investigate how massive stellar mergers in young star clusters imprint on black hole spin distributions and the broader implications for gravitational wave sources. The central hypothesis is that angular momentum transferred during…
The Ly$\alpha$ forest is a powerful probe of the intergalactic medium and small-scale matter distribution, but deriving absorber properties traditionally requires computationally expensive Voigt-profile fitting. We present a convolutional…
Quantum information theory is built on entropic quantities; among them, the sandwiched R\'enyi relative entropy is a fundamental divergence with various applications, and its data processing inequality (DPI) under quantum channels is a…
We develop a perturbative Green's function approach to gravitational lensing by weak gravitational potentials that need not be localized on a thin lens plane and that applies in both the wave optics and geometric optics regimes. We recast…
We provide a new formal extension of the BFSS matrix model by an additional 5-bracket. Maximal supersymmetry leads us to promote the BFSS 2-bracket structure constants to a dynamical field governed by a Chern-Simons-like kinetic term, as…
The AInstein architecture introduced an unsupervised neural method for solving the Riemannian Einstein equations on arbitrary manifolds. This Physics Informed Neural Network approach (PINN) is extended here to Lorentzian signature,…
Large charged black holes can create macroscopic, locally weakly curved regions in which moduli take values different from their asymptotic values. We study how robust this mechanism is once the scalar has a nontrivial potential. In…
Due to the exponential growth in the number of terms, computing $\alpha'$-corrections to string theory's low-energy effective actions is a challenging matter. In order to fix all the couplings, one has usually to deal with a large number of…
We investigate biases in parameter estimation for damped oscillations motivated by applications to black-hole spectroscopy in gravitational-wave physics. Focusing on the simplest model of a single-mode damped sinusoid with a fixed start…
In this paper we will examine if nonlocal quantum field theory will suffer from the fermion doubling pathology. We find that for a nonlocal Dirac theory, that no additional fermion species are introduced. This is provided that the form…
Photometric observations of space debris objects brighter than magnitudes 6.0, 7.0 and 8.0 are characterized. Those magnitudes pertain to different levels of interference with astronomy as defined by the International Astronomical Union.…
Within the tight binding framework of graphenes {\pi} electron nearest neighbors, the Tan Bo model parametrizes transition energies t(dr) based on bond lengths and angles via the Mobius transformation combined with exponential decay.…
We give a geometric derivation of Li'enard--Wiechert fields in flat space and in global AdS, emphasizing the origin of antipodal matching. In flat space, the field of a uniformly moving charge is obtained by using coordinates centered on…
