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 in holographic 2d CFTs, the Ryu-Takayanagi area formula emerges from the leading large- saddle point of a coarse-grained Virasoro algebraic entanglement entropy, thereby providing a concrete statistical origin for holographic entanglement entropy through the coarse-graining of heavy primary states.
This paper develops a constrained particle-on-a-group formulation of super-JT gravity to derive super-Schwarzian actions, construct supersymmetric propagators and Wilson-line operators, and compute explicit three- and four-point correlators, including zero-energy OTOCs for and theories.
This paper reviews the super deformation of theories within a superspace formulation, demonstrating its natural interpretation as a noncritical RNS superstring theory and proposing a connection to 2D supergravity through field redefinitions.
This paper introduces a numerical polology framework that samples coupling spaces to discover perturbative, ghost-free dark sector models and validates them against observational constraints from black hole superradiance, dynamical dark energy, and gravitational waves.
This paper presents a method to extract thermal OPE coefficients of double-twist operators from regularized momentum-space integrals of thermal response functions, applying it to four-dimensional holographic CFTs to numerically compute accurate and previously unreported spin-resolved data via AdS black-brane geometry.
This paper classifies AdS solutions in minimal supergravity corresponding to M5-branes wrapping weighted projective spaces and spindle fibrations over Riemann surfaces, providing holographic duals to SCFTs in whose central charges are verified via anomaly polynomials and c-extremization.
Using numerical relativity in the decoupling limit of quadratic scalar Gauss-Bonnet gravity, this study demonstrates that hyperbolic encounters of black holes can induce temporary dynamical scalarization and permanent spin-induced scalarization or descalarization, even for configurations that initially lack scalar hair.
This paper presents a self-contained, combinatorial approach using Schur-Weyl duality and symmetric group character theory to derive simple closed-form expressions for all power moments of the von Neumann entropy of a random pure quantum state, offering an alternative to traditional random matrix theory methods.
This paper investigates fermion bound states in a -dimensional baby Skyrme model stabilized by Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions, demonstrating through analytical and numerical methods that localized states exist exclusively for positively charged fermions with negative angular momentum and characterizing these composites across magnetic, baby-Skyrme, and mixed backgrounds.
This paper investigates the holographic Casimir effect between parallel spherical defects, revealing a first-order phase transition to a vanishing force in the disconnected phase, providing support for the conjectured holographic lower bound for free theories, and demonstrating that cosmic censorship explains the attractive nature of the force while forbidding repulsive configurations associated with naked singularities.
