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 introduces and analyzes a new class of nonlocal conformal field theories called "long-range minimal models," constructed by deforming Virasoro minimal models with generalized free fields, and investigates their perturbative and nonperturbative properties, particularly highlighting the challenges at large for deformations versus the well-behaved large- limits and new Mellin amplitude techniques for deformations.
This paper investigates the influence of particle spin on creation, greybody factors, absorption, and evaporation processes of black holes within the framework of modified electrodynamics in gravity by analyzing scalar, vector, tensor, and spinorial perturbations to derive analytical and numerical results for emission rates and lifetimes.
This paper utilizes chiral perturbation theory with one-loop corrections to demonstrate that pion-pion scattering, when analyzed via post-selected flavor entanglement, acts as both a generator and suppressor of quantum correlations, where isospin-channel dominance and loop effects critically shape the resulting entanglement structure and angular distribution.
This paper proposes a unified framework for de Sitter holography by introducing a composite and flow that corresponds to the inward motion of a spacelike boundary from asymptotic infinity to a static observer's worldline, a connection supported by calculations of quasi-local energy and holographic entanglement entropy.
This paper constructs a unique spherically symmetric charged black hole solution in dimensions within a quasi-topological gravity framework featuring an infinite tower of higher-curvature corrections, demonstrating that an appropriate choice of coupling coefficients progressively mitigates and ultimately resolves the central singularity into a globally regular spacetime.
This paper develops a novel framework for constructing quantum many-body scar states in bipartite systems with perfectly correlated Hamiltonians, demonstrating that initializing such systems in a purification of a generic equilibrium state leads to universal finite-time revivals, a phenomenon analytically and numerically validated using the double-scaled SYK model.
This paper formulates and numerically solves a closed set of operatorially derived Baxter equations and quantization conditions for the two-dimensional bi-scalar fishnet CFT, providing a complete non-perturbative description of its spectrum that reveals rich analytic structures like state collisions and complex energy levels, while also introducing a new method for deriving Asymptotic Bethe Ansatz equations and extending results to the twisted case.
This paper introduces the "Log-Kernel" neural network architecture that enforces local conformal symmetry to realize Virasoro and super-Virasoro algebras, analytically deriving the algebra from neural statistics and numerically validating the emergence of the expected central charge and scaling dimensions.
This paper demonstrates that the two-dimensional nonlinear sigma model possesses a generic complex conformal field theory fixed point in the complex coupling plane, which is numerically confirmed in non-Hermitian Heisenberg spin chains and can be realized through engineered dissipation to prepare long-range entangled states.
This paper proposes a Lorentz-symmetry-breaking Euler-Heisenberg pseudo-electrodynamics model in 1+2 dimensions by integrating out fermions and adding a Chern-Simons term, demonstrating that birefringence in a planar medium arises exclusively under a uniform electric background field.
