The St\'uckelberg Path to Pure de Sitter Supergravity

Autor: Bansal, Sukŗti, Nagy, Silvia, Padilla, Antonio, Zavala, Ivonne

We advance the study of pure de Sitter supergravity by introducing a finite formulation of unimodular supergravity via the super-St\"uckelberg mechanism. Building on previous works, we construct a complete four-dimensional action of spontaneously bro

We present a comprehensive multi-epoch photometric and spectroscopic study of SN 2024bch, a nearby (19.9 Mpc) Type II supernova (SN) with prominent early high ionization emission lines. Optical spectra from 2.9 days after the estimated explosion reve

The instruments at the focus of the Euclid space observatory offer superb, diffraction-limited imaging over an unprecedented (from space) wide field of view of 0.57 deg$^2$. This exquisite image quality has the potential to produce high-precision ast

Statistical Guarantees for Lifelong Reinforcement Learning using PAC-Bayesian Theory

Autor: Zhang, Zhi, Chow, Chris, Zhang, Yasi, Sun, Yanchao, Zhang, Haochen, Jiang, Eric Hanchen, Liu, Han, Huang, Furong, Cui, Yuchen, Padilla, Oscar Hernan Madrid

Lifelong reinforcement learning (RL) has been developed as a paradigm for extending single-task RL to more realistic, dynamic settings. In lifelong RL, the "life" of an RL agent is modeled as a stream of tasks drawn from a task distribution. We propo
