A geometric solution to the coincidence problem, and the size of the landscape as the origin of hierarchy
Raphael Bousso, Ben Freivogel, Stefan Leichenauer +1
Without assuming necessary conditions for observers such as galaxies or entropy production, we show that the causal patch measure predicts the coincidence of vacuum energy and pres…
Deciphering subsampled data: adaptive compressive sampling as a principle of brain communication
Guy Isely, Christopher J. Hillar, Friedrich T. Sommer
A new algorithm is proposed for a) unsupervised learning of sparse representations from subsampled measurements and b) estimating the parameters required for linearly reconstructin…
One Monopole with k Singularities
Sergey A. Cherkis, Chris D. A. Blair
We present all charge one monopole solutions of the Bogomolny equation with k prescribed Dirac singularities for the gauge groups U(2), SO(3), or SU(2). We analyze these solutions…
Eternal inflation predicts that time will end
Raphael Bousso, Ben Freivogel, Stefan Leichenauer +1
Present treatments of eternal inflation regulate infinities by imposing a geometric cutoff. We point out that some matter systems reach the cutoff in finite time. This implies a no…
Nonlinear gap junctions enable long-distance propagation of pulsating calcium waves in astrocyte networks
Mati Goldberg, Maurizio De Pittà, Vladislav Volman +2
A new paradigm has recently emerged in brain science whereby communications between glial cells and neuron-glia interactions should be considered together with neurons and their ne…
The Energy Landscape, Folding Pathways and the Kinetics of a Knotted Protein
Michael C. Prentiss, David J. Wales, Peter G. Wolynes
The folding pathway and rate coefficients of the folding of a knotted protein are calculated for a potential energy function with minimal energetic frustration. A kinetic transitio…
