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 that the near-singularity geometry of scalarized AdS black holes, specifically the behavior of the Kasner exponent , serves as a novel and independent diagnostic tool for identifying first-order phase transitions and supercritical crossovers, revealing that macroscopic thermodynamic changes fundamentally reshape the deepest interior structure of spacetime.
This paper derives a positive-signature Pomeron amplitude with specific scaling properties that successfully describes the dip-bump region of $pp$ elastic scattering differential cross-sections at LHC energies through an analytic continuation of -channel partial waves featuring poles at fractional values on the real axis.
This paper presents the first systematic investigation of heavy-flavor fragmentation into fully charmed or bottomed tetraquarks across scalar, axial vector, and tensor configurations using a nonrelativistic QCD framework, while propagating uncertainties from long-distance matrix elements to advance the understanding of exotic matter formation.
This paper investigates the worldsheet symmetry and quantum consistency of tensionless bosonic branes by introducing a novel algebra and BRST quantization, ultimately deriving critical spacetime dimensions such as for and for by requiring the vanishing of quantum anomalies.
This paper provides a rigorous construction of the functional integral for Abelian Chern-Simons theory with a toral gauge group on both closed and boundary-equipped 3-manifolds using exact zeta-regularized Gaussian evaluation, thereby establishing it as a valid -dimensional Topological Quantum Field Theory.
This paper employs a third-order WKB approximation to demonstrate that massive scalar field perturbations render noncommutative-geometry-inspired Schwarzschild black holes stable, while revealing that the noncommutative parameter and field mass exert opposing influences on quasinormal mode frequencies, greybody factors, and absorption cross sections, with their effects potentially canceling out in extreme black hole scenarios.
This paper investigates the symmetry structure of D staggered fermions, demonstrating that a specific one-link mass term preserving Onsager algebra symmetries generates a domain wall hosting massless Dirac fermions whose flavor symmetry and parity anomaly descend directly from the ultraviolet lattice Hamiltonian.
This paper employs the Schwinger-Keldysh formalism to construct a symmetry-constrained effective field theory for s-wave superconducting phase transitions that reproduces Ginzburg-Landau equations, describes overdamped Higgs and absorbed phase modes near the critical point, and validates its structure and coefficients using holographic techniques to reveal complex relaxation dynamics characteristic of strongly coupled systems.
This paper presents a fully gauge-invariant covariant quantization of gravitational null rays using the dressing time as a gravitational quantum reference frame, introducing covariant normal ordering to establish a Virasoro crossed product algebra of observables and demonstrating how classical deformations cancel quantum anomalies while revealing the dressing time's non-ideal nature through Teo-Takhtajan energy overlaps.
This paper derives nonlinear metric perturbation transformation rules in the unitary gauge for warped extra dimension models, demonstrating that diffeomorphism invariance acts as an off-shell symmetry that generates recursive relations linking consecutive orders in the effective Lagrangian expansion of the Randall-Sundrum model.
