Hep-Lat, short for High Energy Physics – Lattice, explores the fundamental forces of nature by simulating particle interactions on a digital grid. Instead of relying solely on abstract equations, researchers in this field use powerful computers to model how quarks and gluons bind together, offering deep insights into the structure of matter that are often impossible to derive analytically.
Gist.Science ensures these complex discoveries from arXiv remain accessible to everyone. We process every new preprint in this category as it is posted, providing both plain-language explanations for the curious and detailed technical summaries for experts. This dual approach bridges the gap between cutting-edge simulation work and broader scientific understanding.
Below are the latest papers in High Energy Physics – Lattice, curated directly from arXiv and ready for you to explore.
This paper constructs self-dual center vortices with fractional charges from KvBLLY monopoles on with non-minimal 't Hooft flux to derive semiclassical formulas for confinement and string tensions, ultimately applying these results to evaluate Fibonacci-based twist choices for center stabilization in large- Yang-Mills theory.
This proof-of-concept study proposes that mesoscopic feedback mechanisms naturally generate infinite-range interactions in one-dimensional field theories, leading to phase transitions, spontaneous symmetry breaking, and new universality classes with significant implications for achieving room-temperature ferromagnetism in monolayer spintronics.
Using the tensor renormalization group method, this study investigates the phase structure of (3+1)-dimensional strong coupling two-color QCD at zero temperature and finite chemical potential, revealing that the critical exponents for the diquark condensate align with mean-field theory predictions.
This study investigates the electromagnetic polarizabilities of singly heavy mesons and doubly heavy baryons using heavy hadron chiral perturbation theory, predicting anomalously large electric polarizabilities for mesons due to near-degenerate - mass thresholds and establishing heavy diquark-antiquark symmetry to unify the chiral dynamics of these systems.
This Letter presents a consistent matching of short-distance contributions and hadronic matrix elements for pion decay and decays beyond leading-logarithmic accuracy using recent lattice QCD results, thereby significantly reducing theoretical uncertainties to enable more precise future determinations of and the muon's anomalous magnetic moment.
This study employs quantum Monte Carlo simulations on fuzzy-sphere models to demonstrate that 3D QCD with fermion flavors exhibits an emergent conformal critical phase, thereby generalizing the deconfined quantum critical point observed at .
This proceedings paper reviews Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation and moment problems, demonstrating how causality enables rigorous bounds on smeared spectral functions and providing a simple proof that the space of causal data in Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation is convex.
This paper demonstrates that thermal precondensation, a phenomenon characterized by condensates forming only over finite length scales, occurs in gauge-fermion theories near the thermal chiral phase transition, becomes more pronounced with an increasing number of fermion flavors, and holds potential relevance for physics beyond the Standard Model.
This study presents the first exploratory lattice QCD calculation of nucleon unpolarized, helicity, and transversity parton distribution functions using boosted correlators in the Coulomb gauge, demonstrating that the method yields results compatible with global analyses for valence-quark distributions while highlighting the need to address excited-state contamination in full-quark-channel extractions.
This paper derives the complete set of positivity bounds for leading-twist parton distribution functions of spin-3/2 hadrons by generalizing the Soffer bound through the analysis of antiparton-hadron scattering amplitudes and the positive definiteness of the scattering amplitude matrix.
