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.
Using harmonic superspace methods, the authors demonstrate that introducing a novel non-minimal interaction in a six-dimensional higher-derivative super Yang-Mills theory coupled to an adjoint hypermultiplet cancels one-loop divergences in the gauge superfield sector, resulting in an off-shell finite theory that preserves gauge invariance and supersymmetry.
This paper develops higher descent equations within the framework of 2-term algebras to construct higher Chern-Simons type characteristic classes that simultaneously encode the higher Chern-Weil theorem and higher gauge anomalies.
This paper demonstrates that the large limit of the principal chiral model yields a free massive theory by applying the concentration of measure phenomenon.
This paper calculates the central charged particle multiplicity distribution using a multi-channel eikonal model with AGK cutting rules, compares the results with ATLAS data at 7 and 13 TeV, and discusses the implications of color reconnection and string percolation.
This paper investigates how the curvature of a three-sphere () differentially affects the onset of thermodynamic and dynamical instabilities in strongly coupled supersymmetric Yang-Mills charged plasma at finite density, revealing that while increased curvature can stabilize charge transport at low temperatures, thermodynamic stability is only fully restored at large curvatures.
This paper analytically derives secular changes in orbital parameters for general bound orbits in Kerr spacetime up to the 6th post-Newtonian order and 16th eccentricity order, validates these against numerical results, and develops efficient hybrid approximations to support fast adiabatic inspiral and waveform modeling for space-based gravitational wave detectors like LISA.
This paper provides a complete classification of irreducible highest-weight unitary modules over the non-compact real form by establishing explicit necessary and sufficient conditions on highest weights through the combined use of Howe duality and a quadratic invariant of the maximal compact subalgebra.
This paper demonstrates that small explicit Peccei-Quinn symmetry breaking can render post-inflationary QCD axion dark matter unpredictable by introducing a new mass scale that alters the axion string-wall network dynamics and relic abundance before the QCD transition.
This paper argues that three non-tachyonic ten-dimensional heterotic string theories (, $SO(32)$, and ) can be joined at a nine-dimensional junction by constructing a specific two-dimensional non-conformal supersymmetric quantum field theory, which is presented as a special case of a general framework involving -symmetric theories and their orbifolds.
This paper rigorously proves that an exact internal electromagnetic duality symmetry in the 2D toric code cannot be realized by Clifford circuits, necessitating non-Clifford operations and revealing a fundamental link between exact duality and the Clifford hierarchy.
