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 presents a large class of holographic solutions derived from maximal six-dimensional gauged supergravity, describing D4-branes wrapped on various constant-curvature four-manifolds that yield gravity duals of supersymmetric quantum mechanics in the infrared via twisted compactifications.
This paper investigates how a generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) modifies the Bekenstein entropy bound in (3+1) and (2+1) dimensions via Geroch's process, demonstrating that a negative deformation parameter relaxes the bound while a positive one tightens it, thereby reflecting Planck-scale near-horizon redshift effects.
This paper provides a unified geometric derivation of Liénard–Wiechert fields in both flat space and AdS by expressing them as Coulombic solutions centered on source geodesics, thereby elucidating the origin of antipodal matching as a consequence of frame transformations and image-charge interpretations.
This paper demonstrates that nonlocal quantum field theories avoid the fermion doubling pathology because the invertibility of their entire-function operators preserves the kernel of the original Dirac operator, thereby rendering the Nielsen-Ninomiya theorem inapplicable to this nonlocal, non-compact framework.
The paper introduces the "-bootstrap," a novel procedure that leverages T-duality and an infinite-dimensional algebraic structure to systematically determine all higher-derivative corrections in the NS-NS sector of string theory up to order without directly computing scattering amplitudes.
This paper proposes a systematic framework for constructing consistent six-dimensional supergravity theories with eight supercharges by introducing "supergravity blocks"—minimal collections of tensor multiplets with specific spectral properties—and provides a complete classification of non-Higgsable variants of these blocks as a foundational step.
This paper employs the pole-subtracted bootstrap method with a stringy dispersion relation to reveal that the low-impact-parameter completion of gravitational effective field theories is characterized by distinct, organized black-hole-scale and Regge-like structures rather than a featureless continuum.
This paper constructs a ten-dimensional equivariant localization formalism for type IIA and IIB supergravity fluxes and actions, which generalizes known on-shell action results and matches field theory partition functions without requiring consistent truncations.
This paper investigates the properties of domain walls in large- three-dimensional QCD with Chern-Simons terms and massless flavors, utilizing a bosonic dual to derive the wall's profile and the associated 2D level- gauged WZW field theory, while also addressing cases with fewer flavors and the wall's realization as a D-brane in holographic duals.
The paper argues that the current paradigm of Wilsonian quantum field theory is inadequate for resolving long-standing mysteries in particle physics and proposes replacing it with a holographic framework based on de Sitter holography, which naturally yields a rich standard model in the flat-space limit and eliminates the problem of huge quantum corrections to the cosmological constant.
