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 investigates a quadratic dimensionless gauge transformation in quantum field theories to establish invariance and derive conservation laws for complex scalar, Abelian, and non-Abelian fields, while clarifying the roles of covariant derivatives and physical state equivalence through extensive theoretical and graphical analysis.
This paper investigates the supercritical thermodynamics of Euler-Heisenberg AdS black holes using Lee-Yang phase transition theory, revealing a complex phase structure with two distinct critical points and a degenerate higher-order critical point, and demonstrating how well-defined Widom lines emerge in the complex domain to act as effective stability boundaries even in the absence of conventional coexistence curves.
This paper extends the analysis of holographic constraints on scalar moduli in scale-separated AdS vacua to less symmetric DGKT-type geometries, demonstrating that the required cancellations persist for all examples with , suggesting a broader general validity.
This paper establishes that a broad class of exact observables in planar maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory satisfy the Stieltjes property (a once-subtracted dispersion representation with a positive spectral measure), enabling the derivation of rigorous non-perturbative bounds from perturbative data and the recovery of strong-coupling expansions.
This paper introduces Factorizable Normalizing Flows (FNFs), a scalable and interpretable framework that models parameter-dependent density deformations by combining a fixed reference flow with a learnable, factorized polynomial transformation, thereby enabling efficient inference without the computational intractability of sampling exponentially large joint parameter spaces.
This paper establishes a connection between the Poisson bracket of Lagrangian field theory and algebras by demonstrating that a proposed symplectic structure yields the Peierls formula, interpreting the inverse relation between these structures via homological algebra, and applying these concepts to the complexities of -adic string theory.
This paper utilizes recently developed Hamiltonian methods within open bosonic string field theory to demonstrate that the mass of a D0-brane corresponds to the central charge arising from the spontaneous breaking of the 26-dimensional Poincaré algebra.
This paper presents the first proof of a random-matrix spectral ramp in a static, geometrically local many-body Hamiltonian by embedding the Floquet quasienergy spectrum of a dual-unitary circuit into a time-independent system using a variant of the Feynman-Kitaev clock construction.
This paper derives coordinate-independent attractor solutions for multi-field inflationary models, demonstrating the critical role of field-space isometries in enabling rapid-turn dynamics and establishing the existence of distinct dynamical attractors for systems with more than two fields.
This paper presents novel analytic solutions for multi-field inflation models with constant turns, deriving criteria for the exponential amplification of curvature perturbations to produce primordial black holes and demonstrating how field-space torsion in a three-field scenario yields distinct observables compared to two-field models.
