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.

This paper generalizes the analysis of Q-balls to arbitrary spatial dimensions , providing exact analytical solutions for and consistent analytical approximations for in the thin-wall regime, with applications extending to vacuum-decay bounce solutions.
This paper presents an exact quantum solution for rotating Weyl fermions in a finite cylinder, revealing that the bulk chiral vortical effect is a magnetization current while uncovering a new, temperature-independent boundary-induced vortical pumping mechanism that transports axial charge via chiral modes dependent on the number of Weyl nodes.
This paper introduces a bootstrap framework that utilizes the cross spectral form factor and spectral correlations to systematically reconstruct the full representation theory and identify hidden finite group symmetries in quantum many-body systems, including their character tables and fusion rules, without prior knowledge of the symmetry group.
This paper presents an exact large- solution of the Lévy Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (LSYK) model, demonstrating how its tail exponent continuously interpolates between a free theory and the maximally chaotic Gaussian SYK model while exhibiting non-maximal chaos and distinct thermodynamic properties in the intermediate regime.
This paper presents an AI-assisted review of recent computational advances in stabilizing four-dimensional Minkowski vacua within the interior of moduli space for specific type IIB string compactifications, highlighting how higher-order flux superpotential terms and exact worldsheet descriptions provide critical data for testing string landscape and swampland conjectures.
This paper demonstrates that unlike in three dimensions, the universal entanglement entropy term in five-dimensional conformal field theories is unbounded for general regions and fails to be maximized by free scalars, though a weaker bound on small spherical deformations holds and implies a specific constraint on the ratio of the stress-tensor two-point function coefficient to the sphere partition function.
This paper presents an analytical computation of angular phase-space integrals with three and four denominators using dimensional regularisation and the Mellin-Barnes representation, expressing the results in terms of Goncharov polylogarithms and deriving recursion relations to facilitate the solution of full phase-space integrals.
This paper proposes that the cosmological constant arises geometrically from the compactification of five-dimensional Einstein-Chern-Simons gravity, where a large extra dimension naturally yields the observed value without fine-tuning in the strong-field regime while preserving standard General Relativity solutions.
By analyzing gravitational-wave emission from particles plunging into Schwarzschild black holes, this paper demonstrates that observable deviations from General Relativity in quadratic gravity are exponentially suppressed in the GR limit, thereby providing a nonperturbative realization of the theory's equivalence to General Relativity despite its distinct non-perturbative features.
This paper derives an explicit representation for the light one-point torus conformal block in Toda field theory by analyzing the simplified instanton sum of the corresponding supersymmetric Yang--Mills theory in the limit, validating the result against known cases for and .
