Hep-Th, or high-energy theoretical physics, explores the fundamental building blocks of our universe and the forces that govern them. Researchers in this field use complex mathematics to understand everything from subatomic particles to the behavior of black holes, often pushing the boundaries of what we know about space and time.
At Gist.Science, we monitor the arXiv repository to ensure you stay ahead of the curve in this rapidly evolving discipline. For every new preprint uploaded to arXiv under this category, our team generates both accessible plain-language overviews and detailed technical summaries, making cutting-edge research understandable regardless of your background.
Below are the latest papers in high-energy theoretical physics, curated to help you navigate the most significant recent discoveries.
This paper utilizes the large critical point formalism to demonstrate that the anomalous dimension of the matter field in the bosonic sector of the Wess-Zumino model is free of multiple zeta values up to order .
This paper proposes a novel topological framework utilizing the Brouwer degree of heat capacity-based vector fields to demonstrate that the total topological charge of AdS black hole systems remains globally conserved, even as thermodynamic parameters induce the creation or annihilation of neutral multicritical point pairs.
This paper presents an exact solution in 4D Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory (derived from 5D Kaluza-Klein theory) describing a multi-centered configuration of rotating black holes with non-aligned angular momenta and electric-magnetic charges, which generalizes previous aligned-spin solutions and yields regular spacetimes free of curvature singularities and closed timelike curves when spin magnitudes remain below a specific bound.
This paper investigates timelike entanglement entropy and subregion complexity in localized AdS S T black holes, demonstrating that these Lorentzian observables reveal unique geometric features of the black-pole solution—such as non-monotonic temporal families and internal sphere dependence—that are absent in standard BTZ black holes and large- approximations.
This paper analyzes analytic infinite derivative gravity to demonstrate that achieving a ghost- and tachyon-free cosmological bounce generally requires a negative cosmological constant, as known solutions typically exhibit ghost radiation, while also computing the resulting tensor mode spectrum and its implications for Cosmic Microwave Background observations.
This paper proposes a non-unitary conformal field theory dual to a de Sitter wedge holography setup in an Anti-de Sitter bulk, supporting the duality through partition function and entanglement entropy calculations while verifying the first law of entanglement entropy and deriving the Page curve via the island prescription.
Motivated by non-relativistic heterotic Double Field Theory, this paper derives a finite, manifestly gauge-covariant Lagrangian for the bosonic sector of heterotic supergravity by demonstrating that divergent contributions from Chern-Simons terms in both the -field curvature and Yang-Mills sector cancel out, while the gauged Green-Schwarz transformation trivializes and Chern-Simons-like terms naturally re-emerge in the effective theory.
This paper analyzes the small-spin behavior of anomalous dimensions for twist-two operators in the -symmetric , complex , and Gross-Neveu-Yukawa models up to four, three, and two loops respectively, confirming theoretical expectations and providing resummed expressions for these quantities at their singular points.
This paper classifies (3+1)d symmetry-enriched topological orders with finite -symmetry by employing 2-categorical (de-)equivariantization to establish a correspondence with -enriched -crossed braided fusion 2-categories, thereby unifying the classification of these theories with fermionic generalizations of the Wang-Wen-Witten construction.
This paper addresses ambiguities in the effective potential by emphasizing the necessity of a vanishing vacuum expectation value for the gauge-fixing function to ensure gauge independence, while advocating for and demonstrating the gauge-parameter independence of the Vilkovisky-DeWitt formalism, including its high-temperature application to the Abelian-Higgs model.
