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 demonstrates that the ground state of nonrelativistic Proca stars is always mode-stable and identifies several stable spherically symmetric excited states, suggesting potential implications for spin-1 ultralight dark matter models.
This paper presents a manifestly Lorentz invariant reformulation of top-quark condensation for the Higgs boson, utilizing an extended internal wave-function and a gauge-invariant absence of "relative time" to establish a novel, nontrivial vacuum structure analogous to a relativistic BCS condensate.
This paper constructs holographic tensor network models based on partial-entanglement-entropy (PEE) thread tessellations of AdS space, demonstrating that assigning quantum states to network vertices reproduces the exact Ryu-Takayanagi formula by equating minimal surface cuts with geometric area.
This paper presents a first-principles, non-perturbative study of quantum entanglement among partons in a strongly coupled scalar Yukawa theory using light-front Hamiltonian methods, revealing that while entanglement in the quenched limit relates to classical Shannon entropy, the unquenched framework exhibits genuine non-classical correlations that encode quantum information beyond classical probabilities.
This paper proposes a general algebraic formula based on ring homomorphisms and the Verlinde formula to classify anyon transformations across domain walls, thereby unifying the description of topological phase transitions, massless renormalization group flows, and symmetry-enriched topological orders within the framework of Symmetry Topological Field Theories (SymTFTs).
This paper constructs and analyzes irreducible representations of the extended BMS group in three and four dimensions, demonstrating that these representations, which share rest frame momenta with Poincaré particles, are fundamentally carried by strings rather than point particles due to the crucial role of super rotations.
This paper constructs a purely geometrical, metric-like formulation of the non-relativistic limit of bosonic supergravity based on a torsionless connection with non-vanishing non-metricities, which enables a manifestly covariant decomposition of relativistic curvature tensors and establishes an equivalence with string Newton–Cartan geometry while facilitating applications such as deriving -corrections and extending to general geometries.
This study demonstrates that neutrino fast flavor conversion has a bifurcated impact on core-collapse supernova explosions, where its effect shifts from promoting shock revival in low-mass progenitors to inhibiting it in high-mass ones depending on the mass accretion rate, a phenomenon that can only be accurately captured through multi-angle neutrino radiation hydrodynamics.
Using holography, this paper provides a fully microscopic description of critical bubbles in a strongly coupled gauge theory by constructing unstable black-brane solutions, demonstrating that while effective actions derived from the microscopic theory agree with these results, those based solely on the equation of state and dimensional analysis require an additional surface tension constraint to resolve significant discrepancies.
Using light-front holographic QCD, this paper demonstrates that the nucleon's gravitational form factor is significantly suppressed at finite momentum transfer due to a fundamental cancellation arising from an antisymmetric factor in the longitudinal dynamics, which serves as a signature of the nucleon's dominant S-wave character.
