Open AccessGravitational waves from dark Yang-Mills sectors
Dark Yang-Mills sectors, which are ubiquitous in the string landscape, may be reheated above their critical temperature and subsequently go through a confining first-order phase transition that produces stocha...

Non-tracial Free Graph von Neumann Algebras
Given a finite, directed, connected graph \(\Gamma \) Γ equipped with a weighting \(\mu \) μ on its edges, we provide a construction of a von Neumann algebra equipped with a faithful, normal, positive lin...

Calcium-dependent titin–thin filament interactions in muscle: observations and theory
Gaps in our understanding of muscle mechanics demonstrate that the current model is incomplete. Increasingly, it appears that a role for titin in active muscle contraction might help to fill these gaps. While ...

Open AccessBranes with brains: exploring string vacua with deep reinforcement learning
We propose deep reinforcement learning as a model-free method for exploring the landscape of string vacua. As a concrete application, we utilize an artificial intelligence agent known as an asynchronous advant...

Open AccessCalcium increases titin N2A binding to F-actin and regulated thin filaments
Mutations in titin are responsible for many cardiac and muscle diseases, yet the underlying mechanisms remain largely unexplained. Numerous studies have established roles for titin in muscle function, and Ca2+-de...

Combinatorics of Bi-Freeness with Amalgamation
In this paper, we develop the theory of bi-freeness in an amalgamated setting. We construct the operator-valued bi-free cumulant functions, and show that the vanishing of mixed cumulants is necessary and suffi...

Free Monotone Transport Without a Trace
We adapt the free monotone transport results of Guionnet and Shlyakhtenko to the type III case. As a direct application, we obtain that the q-deformed Araki–Woods algebras are isomorphic (for sufficiently small ...

Characterization of Microcrystalline Transition from Amorphous Silicon as a Function of Hydrogen Dilution and Substrate Temperature of Hot-wire CVD
a-Si:H films were prepared by hot wire chemical vapor deposition. One group was deposited at a substrate temperature of Ts=250°C with varied hydrogen-dilution ratio, 0<R<10; the other group was deposited with fix...

Evidence for Long-range Hydrogen Motion in a-Si:H under Room-temperature Illumination Using Raman Scattering of Amorphous Tungsten Oxide Overlayer
We demonstrate that one can detect minuscule amounts of hydrogen diffusion out of a-Si:H under illumination at room temperature, by monitoring the changes in the Raman spectrum of amorphous tungsten oxide as a...
