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 requiring a causal, stable, and thermodynamically consistent extension of neutron-star equations of state to higher densities strongly disfavors purely nucleonic models and supports the presence of additional degrees of freedom in massive stable neutron stars.
This paper proposes a conjecture that the double-logarithmic behavior of large-charge correlators in the null limit of planar Super-Yang-Mills theory is universally determined by the tilted cusp anomalous dimension for any -point function, thereby generalizing previous results and matching the small-mass behavior of dual massive amplitudes.
This paper argues that the right-handed neutrino field in the Type I seesaw model is not a Majorana fermion, thereby precluding neutrinoless double beta decay, and proposes that both leptogenesis and neutrinoless double beta decay can be realized by redefining the model with C-symmetric Majorana fermions via a Bogoliubov transformation.
This paper generalizes the calculation of fermionic tidal Love numbers to higher-dimensional Reissner-Nordström black holes, revealing that unlike their bosonic counterparts, these numbers remain non-zero for all angular momenta and dimensions (except in extremal cases) while exhibiting a dimension-dependent structure that simplifies in the infinite-dimensional limit.
This paper constructs a finite and unitary -dimensional de Sitter quantum field theory directly from -dimensional conformal field theory data by utilizing the moduli space of oriented balls and conformal-family Casimir completion, offering a new framework to address puzzles in de Sitter and double-time QFT.
This paper presents the first comparison of high-order post-Minkowskian predictions for generic-spin black hole scattering with numerical-relativity simulations, revealing strong-field precessional structures and sign changes in polar angles that are absent in perturbative results to improve eccentric and precessing waveform modeling.
This paper extends zeta-regularization techniques beyond natural boundaries to derive the regularized sum of all primes and establish general relationships between the regularized products of integers and primes across nine imaginary quadratic fields.
This paper reinterprets the convergence region of Schwarzschild quasinormal mode expansions by introducing a radial mirror scattering framework that maps the problem to a two-component half-line system, thereby providing a spectral explanation for the second lightcone distance and drawing a parallel to AdS boundary-bouncing geodesics.
This paper introduces two new positivity constraints based on "open bubbles" and "color matrices" to derive sharp bounds on unitary tensor integrals at finite and investigate deviations from Gaussian universality.
This paper investigates the holography of new conformal higher spin gravities in three dimensions under both general and near-horizon boundary conditions, revealing that the former yields loop algebras while the latter produces u(1) currents and supports BTZ-like black holes, Lobachevsky solutions, and their generalizations.
