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 calculates the response of an Unruh--DeWitt detector in a superposition of BTZ black hole locations, demonstrating how Quantum Reference Frame transformations reveal nonclassical measurement contributions and distinguishing this scenario from mass-superposed black holes through spectral singularities.
This paper proposes a unified cosmological paradigm that explains Dark Matter as Primordial Black Holes and Dark Energy through non-equilibrium thermodynamics (General Relativistic Entropic Acceleration), offering a solution to recent observational anomalies without invoking new particles or degrees of freedom.
This paper demonstrates that holographic QCD can be exactly matched to perturbative QCD at a fixed scale by deriving a factorized Compton amplitude where the universal ultraviolet photon vertex reproduces the Wilson coefficients of the singlet conformal operator product expansion, thereby extending vacuum current-correlator matching to the off-forward hadronic current-current correlator relevant for DDVCS/DVCS.
This paper demonstrates that in the collinear regime, holographic double deeply virtual Compton scattering (DDVCS) amplitudes derived from Witten diagrams structurally match the -basis Wilson coefficients of perturbative QCD at a fixed scale, with the open and closed string channels corresponding to the and eigenchannels respectively, governed by a universal hypergeometric hard kernel and distinct branch-point structures.
This paper introduces a deformation of holomorphic Chern-Simons theory on Calabi-Yau three-folds via complex structure deformations, identifying new instanton solutions that yield anomaly-free real gauge theories and explicit partition functions in the large deformation limit.
This paper systematically compares the applicability, ease of use, and predictive power of prominent diagnostic tools for assessing the correctness of complex Langevin simulations by applying them to four simple but nontrivial models.
This paper investigates the scattering of spin-3/2 fermions mediated by a Yukawa-like coupling within the massive Rarita-Schwinger model, deriving differential and total cross sections at both zero and finite temperatures (using Thermofield Dynamics) to analyze the effects of thermal conditions and interaction range.
This paper reviews a unified semiclassical framework for many-body systems of indistinguishable particles, which utilizes an effective Planck constant scaling as to explain diverse quantum chaotic phenomena such as spectral correlations, eigenstate morphology, weak localization, and information scrambling.
This article reviews the construction of a chaos-assisted low-dimensional holographic correspondence between the SYK model and Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity for non-experts, demonstrating how quantum chaos bridges bulk and boundary physics and necessitates string theory elements to resolve fine-grained quantum scales.
This paper provides a pedagogical review of exact theoretical results regarding the symmetries of massless Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) in an idealized scenario where quarks are devoid of mass.
