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 proposes a reinterpretation of supersymmetry where the generators act as transformations linking bosons and fermions with different gauge properties rather than as symmetry generators themselves, thereby allowing the theory to connect standard model particles like leptons instead of requiring unobserved superpartners while retaining many of supersymmetry's mathematical advantages.
This paper extends the superselection-rule approach to ghost theories with complex-conjugate pole pairs by introducing a generalized ghost parity and a swap operation that define entangled pairs, ensuring positive probabilities and a consistent optical theorem through superselection on the zero-difference sector.
This paper proposes an analog renormalization procedure for four-derivative scalar field theory in the massless limit, demonstrating that the renormalization scale governs both UV and IR divergences and leads to a Callan–Symanzik equation with beta functions derived from the combined pole parts of 1PI functions.
This paper investigates classical soliton scattering in the 2+1-dimensional integrable chiral model, demonstrating that extended line solitons exhibit nontrivial interactions with lump and other line solitons where scattering factorizes into processes, while establishing a correspondence between parallel line soliton scattering in 3D and lump soliton scattering in 2D to facilitate comparison with 1+1-dimensional integrable theories.
This paper proposes a novel interpretation of quasiparticle excitations in pure gauge Yang-Mills theories within the Refined Gribov-Zwanziger framework, specifically addressing real mass poles by leveraging the manifest -symmetry of the Lagrangian.
This paper derives static, spherically symmetric solutions in modified entropic gravity by incorporating temperature-dependent corrections to the equipartition law, revealing that slight deviations from a quadratic temperature dependence yield a logarithmic correction to the gravitational potential that could explain anomalies in weak-field regimes.
This paper investigates the flat-space limit of AdSS holographic correlators by utilizing master propagators to resum Kaluza--Klein modes, demonstrating how different decompactification and boundary limits recover 10d flat-space amplitudes and suggesting a connection to Carrollian holography and spacetimes with two time directions.
This paper investigates general twisted intertwining operators for vertex operator algebras by establishing their fundamental properties and utilizing them to construct -tensor products and -crossed braiding isomorphisms within categories of twisted modules.
This paper presents a comprehensive theoretical analysis of -dimensional fermions with nonminimal coupling, deriving non-relativistic limits and exploring the effects of harmonic and electric potentials to reveal significant impacts on condensed matter properties such as electronic behavior, Hall conductivity, and polarizability.
This paper extends the Feshbach-Villars formalism to spin-1/2 particles in curved spacetime by deriving a generalized Hamiltonian that incorporates gravitational and electromagnetic interactions in both (1+2) and (1+3) dimensions, thereby providing a framework to analyze the interplay between quantum mechanics, gravity, and electromagnetism.
