The Homotopy Type of Spaces of Flat Connections for Classical Lie Groups

Andrew Davis

Let be a smooth manifold. We use Chern-Weil theory to study the characteristic classes of principal -bundles built from continuous families of -representations, w…

Neutron shielding and activation of the MASTU device and surrounds

David Taylor, Steven Lilley, Andrew Turner +1

A significant functional upgrade is planned for the Mega Ampere Spherical Tokamak (MAST) device, located at Culham in the UK, including the implementation of a notably greater neut…

Phase diagram of the spin-1/2 Yukawa-SYK model: Non-Fermi liquid, insulator, and superconductor

Wei Wang, Andrew Davis, Gaopei Pan +2

We analyze the phase diagram of the Yukawa-Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model, which describes complex fermions randomly interacting with real bosons via a Yukawa coupling, at finite temperat…

Timing Calibration of the NuSTAR X-ray Telescope

Matteo Bachetti, Craig B. Markwardt, Brian W. Grefenstette +13

The Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) mission is the first focusing X-ray telescope in the hard X-ray (3-79 keV) band. Among the phenomena that can be studied in this…

Quantum chaos and phase transition in the Yukawa-SYK model

Andrew Davis, Yuxuan Wang

We analyze the quantum chaotic behavior of the Yukawa-SYK model as a function of filling and temperature, which describes random Yukawa interactions between complex fermions an…

Defending Large Language Models Against Attacks With Residual Stream Activation Analysis

Amelia Kawasaki, Andrew Davis, Houssam Abbas

The widespread adoption of Large Language Models (LLMs), exemplified by OpenAI's ChatGPT, brings to the forefront the imperative to defend against adversarial threats on these mode…
