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 revisits the holographic computation of two-point functions for heavy -BPS chiral primary operators in SYM by proposing new boundary terms in the D3-brane action to resolve previous ambiguities for giant gravitons and by calculating correlators for operators using the Gibbons-Hawking-York term in LLM bubbling geometries.
This paper utilizes holographic Kaluza-Klein spectral analysis on anti-de Sitter backgrounds and exceptional generalised geometry to derive and diagonalize mass matrices for universal light operator sectors in superconformal field theories of class , specifically addressing the effects of trombone scaling symmetry gaugings.
The paper introduces \textsc{Albert}, a neuro-symbolic AI framework that successfully rediscovered the Standard Model and autonomously predicted the top quark's mass using only legacy LEP data, demonstrating a rigorous, hallucination-free approach to discovering new physics.
This paper investigates the anomaly-induced activation of a gauge-invariant scalar "conformalon" mode in General Relativity, demonstrating that its coupling to gravitons and gauge currents via single-graviton exchange generates Planck-suppressed, contact-like corrections to scattering amplitudes that exhibit a characteristic double-copy structure and align with conformal Ward identities.
This paper addresses the challenges of extracting scattering amplitudes from staggered lattice QCD by proposing two complementary approaches: calculating one-loop amplitudes using Rooted Staggered Chiral Perturbation Theory to verify quantization conditions, and generalizing the Lüscher formalism to explicitly incorporate taste-splitting and fourth-rooting effects.
This paper reviews recent progress in utilizing hidden symmetries from T-duality to generate higher-derivative-corrected supergravity solutions while addressing the non-perturbative challenges encountered when extending this approach to U-duality.
This paper presents the first non-perturbative determination of the model-independent QCD contribution to the axion-photon coupling using continuum extrapolated lattice simulations, yielding a precise value that enables updated constraints on axion models to guide future experimental strategies.
The paper identifies a fundamental inconsistency in the application of uniform WKB quantization to deformed quantum mechanics, specifically demonstrating its failure to correctly quantize the Seiberg-Witten curve.
This paper critiques a recent lattice QCD study that claims to exclude a QCD critical endpoint below MeV, arguing that the entropy-contour method used fails to directly probe critical singularities and therefore cannot provide model-independent constraints on the critical point's location.
This paper computes the entanglement entropy and spectrum of the massive Schwinger model at finite using a chirally rotated lattice Hamiltonian, revealing that the entanglement peak at arises from competing electric-flux vacuum branches and demonstrating that the entanglement Hamiltonian aligns with the Bisognano--Wichmann theorem in the infrared sector.
