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 a quantum Monte Carlo approach for computing symmetry-resolved Rényi entropies in large-scale interacting systems by measuring disorder operators on replica manifolds, successfully validating theoretical predictions for entanglement equipartition in both the transverse-field Ising model and the Heisenberg chain across one and two dimensions.
This paper extends neural network field theory to topological settings by incorporating discrete parameters for topological quantum numbers, successfully recovering the Berezinskii–Kosterlitz–Thouless transition and verifying key aspects of T-duality in bosonic string theory, including momentum-winding exchange, Buscher rules, current algebra enhancement, and non-geometric T-fold transitions.
This paper demonstrates that introducing a Fujikawa-type potential into a twisted super-Yang-Mills theory triggers spontaneous symmetry breaking in a non-Abelian topological gauge theory, generating massive vector bosons and fermions with correlated masses () provided the gauge group is at least $SU(3)$ and three vacuum directions are utilized.
This paper demonstrates that the hidden four-dimensional conformal symmetry, which previously allowed tree-level correlators of a 1D superconformal field theory dual to AdSS to be encoded in a single 4D contact diagram, extends to one-loop order via a scalar bubble diagram after applying Casimir operators, and conjectures a derivative effective field theory capable of reproducing these correlators to all loops without such operators.
This paper reviews the semi-inclusive hadroproduction of neutral hidden-flavor tetraquarks at the HL-LHC using the JETHAD framework and novel TQHL1.0 fragmentation functions, demonstrating that high-energy observables for these exotic states remain stable under radiative corrections and providing a crucial link between QCD resummation techniques and exotic matter research.
This paper resolves previous divergences in bulk reconstruction for de Sitter spacetime by demonstrating that the smearing function becomes distributional for specific mass, spin, and dimension values, thereby enabling boundary representations for scalars of all masses and higher spin fields across all -vacua.
This paper extends the bulk reconstruction program by deriving analytic expressions for smearing functions and Papadodimas-Raju mirror operators for massless fields in both the exterior and interior of an Achucarro-Ortiz 2D multi-horizon black hole spacetime.
This paper presents case-(1) multi-indexed orthogonal polynomials of a discrete variable for eight specific types and utilizes them, along with other known multi-indexed polynomials, to construct exactly solvable continuous-time birth and death processes and their discrete-time Markov chain counterparts.
This paper proposes that sine dilaton gravity, holographically dual to DSSYK, provides a UV-complete framework for 2d quantum cosmology where the sphere amplitude yields a finite, normalizable no-boundary state that predicts a flat distribution for the universe's size, thereby resolving the non-normalizability and small-universe contradictions found in standard slow-roll inflation and dS JT gravity.
This paper establishes the modular resurgence and summability properties of -Pochhammer symbols weighted by Dirichlet characters, demonstrating that these structures underpin an exact strong-weak resurgent symmetry for spectral traces of quantum operators associated with all local weighted projective planes within the topological string/spectral theory correspondence.
