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.

This paper investigates quantum corrections to the Randall-Sundrum model in a near-extremal black brane background by incorporating Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity and Schwarzian modes, deriving the corrected Kaluza-Klein mass spectrum, and analyzing the impact on the Goldberger-Wise mechanism to provide new insights into cosmology and phase transitions.
This study presents the first simultaneous Bayesian inference of temperature-dependent heavy-quark spatial diffusion and jet transport coefficients in quark-gluon plasma using LHC D-meson data, revealing a non-monotonic temperature dependence in their ratio and establishing a data-driven quantitative relationship between these fundamental transport properties.
This paper establishes a double-copy relationship between open- and closed-string amplitudes in Anti-de Sitter space by developing a noncommutative version of twisted de Rham theory to derive the AdS double-copy kernel as the inverse of the intersection number of open-string contours.
This paper presents exact solutions for bumpy black holes and black branes in the Einstein $SU(2)$ non-linear sigma model, where superfluid pion multi-vortices induce horizon deformations governed by a Liouville equation and characterized by a topological vorticity invariant that dictates the geometry and thermodynamics.
This paper utilizes high-performance CUDA simulations combined with the Hamilton–Jacobi formalism to investigate the shadows and energy emission rates of rotating charged Euler–Heisenberg black holes with global monopoles, revealing that while the global monopole, electric charge, and rotation parameters significantly influence these properties, the Euler–Heisenberg nonlinear parameter has a negligible effect, thereby enabling the establishment of strict bounds on the former parameters to reconcile with Event Horizon Telescope observations.
This paper demonstrates that non-Clifford gates essential for universal quantum computation, such as the Ising interaction, Toffoli, and T gates, arise naturally as path integrals in various topological quantum field theories, with their specific magic-generating properties determined by the underlying algebraic data and topological structures of the theories.
This paper generalizes quantum gate complexity and geometric distance measures to non-invertible symmetries in quantum field theories, demonstrating that such symmetries define parallel computation schemes involving post-selection and revealing that their simple objects can be computationally highly complex.
This paper demonstrates that by utilizing exact finite-temperature saddles and a Picard-Lefschetz contour integral framework involving Weierstrass elliptic functions and Lamé operators, one can systematically compute the full resurgent structure of the double-well partition function and energy levels for all excited states, thereby overcoming the limitations of the traditional dilute instanton gas approximation.
This paper establishes a comprehensive framework connecting intrinsic Carrollian fermions, small speed-of-light expansions of relativistic Dirac theory, and light-cone dynamics by deriving Carrollian actions from relativistic limits and demonstrating how Carrollian fermions in dimensions relate to relativistic fermions in both and dimensions.
This paper derives analytical expressions for the one-loop quantum corrections to the Casimir effect and topological mass generation for a self-interacting real scalar field between rough parallel plates at low temperatures, utilizing WKB methods and -function regularization to account for both geometric perturbations and finite thermal effects.
