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 finite-regulator formulation of the Standard Model where gauge and Higgs fields are defined on a finite bosonic lattice while quarks and leptons remain as continuum Weyl fermions, thereby preserving continuum anomaly structures and enabling a gauge-invariant, finite functional integral without requiring a finite-dimensional discretization of chiral fermions.
This paper demonstrates that planar super Yang-Mills theory on preserves integrability through a specific involution combined with charge conjugation, allowing for the exact calculation of one-point functions via spin chain overlaps and supersymmetric localization, which are shown to be holographically dual to a probe orientifold O1-plane in .
The paper argues that the proposed bound limiting black hole ringdown decay shifts to one oscillation period yields no new model-independent constraints on gravitational effective field theories, as such shifts only become significant at scales where the theory loses predictivity, thereby reducing the condition to known positivity bounds derived from flat-space graviton amplitudes.
This paper extends a full-kinematic background-field construction to quark TMDPDFs, introducing the MSTT scheme and a rapidity-only scheme that unify the description of large- and small- dynamics by simultaneously recovering CSS, DGLAP, and small- double logarithmic evolutions within a single framework.
This paper establishes novel Type IIB–heterotic dualities by concretely identifying 4d heterotic backgrounds dual to Type IIB compactifications on Calabi–Yau threefolds with type II loci, revealing both geometric and non-geometric heterotic vacua that are intrinsically four-dimensional and lack a ten-dimensional decompactification limit.
This paper investigates the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model under rigid rotation to demonstrate that while rotation typically suppresses the chiral condensate, the emergence of a spin (axial-vector) condensate can counteract this suppression, potentially enhancing the chiral condensate and shifting the chiral phase transition from second to first order.
This paper identifies two distinct repulsive mechanisms—Higgs-mediated and -boson-mediated—that counteract magnetic attraction to stabilize Cho-Maison monopole-antimonopole pairs, offering a paradigm for topological soliton stabilization within the Standard Model and effective field theories.
This paper presents the first numerical solution for a finite-separation Cho-Maison monopole-antimonopole pair in the Standard Model's Weinberg-Salam theory, analyzing their magnetic properties and separation across various parameters while noting that the system's total energy remains infinite due to point singularities at the monopole locations.
This paper uses numerical simulations to analyze the time evolution of entanglement spectra and Schmidt modes in one- and two-dimensional particle scattering, revealing how an initial pure Gaussian wavepacket dynamically evolves into a discrete ensemble of outcomes where dominant eigenstates correspond to single-peaked transmitted or reflected packets, while smaller eigenvalues represent multi-peaked superpositions.
This paper proposes a new type of neutral magnetic monopole within the Standard Model, characterized by a magnetic charge of and a potential mass around 3.28 TeV, which necessitates a new neutral charge quantization rule alongside the existing Dirac rule.
