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 presents new exact solutions for rotating black holes in gravity with imperfect fluid and via Lorentz boosts, demonstrating that both classes are holographically dual to hidden conformal field theories and proposing a conjecture that the presence of matter distinguishes these black holes through higher dual CFT temperatures and mode numbers compared to vacuum solutions.
This paper demonstrates that the complete set of Landau singularities for Feynman integrals can be explicitly derived from the Whitney stratification of a specific map, a method successfully applied to nontrivial two-loop examples to simultaneously reveal singularities of both the original integrals and their kinematic limits.
This paper establishes that a four-dimensional non-linear electrodynamics theory is equivalent to Maxwell theory in a field-dependent, unit-determinant curved spacetime if and only if it possesses electric-magnetic duality invariance, a property that uniquely characterizes ModMax theory and enables a novel analysis of global symmetries and conserved currents via harmonic forms with respect to the induced metric.
This study utilizes the Zubarev non-equilibrium statistical operator approach to demonstrate that introducing an effective pion chemical potential successfully explains the low- enhancement in identified particle spectra from LHC heavy-ion collisions, offering a viable alternative to conventional resonance decay explanations.
This paper determines and corrects the symmetry algebras of Galilean Electrodynamics and Galilean Yang-Mills theories coupled to scalar fields, revealing that Galilean Electrodynamics in generic dimensions possesses infinite-dimensional symmetries that correspond to the conformal Milne algebra extended by a spatial dilatation in dimensions, with implications for the non-relativistic AdS/CFT correspondence.
This paper establishes a novel time-like manifestation of tensionless string dynamics by constructing a Milne worldsheet that, near its null horizons, exhibits an emergent Carrollian structure and a duality-like correspondence with the well-known acceleration-induced tensionless regime of Rindler worldsheets.
This paper presents a construction of the off-shell double copy for gauge theories within the Batalin-Vilkovitsky formalism, demonstrating how Chern-Simons, BF, and two-dimensional Yang-Mills theories map to gravity theories such as Kodaira-Spencer and Kähler gravity, which describe deformations of generalized complex structures and the Courant bracket.
This paper demonstrates that a non-Hermitian deformation of the Heisenberg XXX spin chain, characterized by a non-diagonalizable transfer matrix, yields a continuum limit described by a non-unitary Landau-Lifshitz model that possesses a tower of conserved charges generated by a boost operator yet violates the standard "no particle production" condition of integrability through a non-vanishing S-matrix.
This paper proposes a method to obstruct symmetry enhancement in numerical conformal bootstrap calculations by identifying and imposing spectral gaps on redundant operators, a mechanism successfully applied to distinguish the cubic model from the model in three dimensions.
This paper constructs a novel holographic duality by taking a Carrollian limit of AdS/CFT to relate Carrollian string theory to Carrollian Super Yang-Mills, while proposing an underlying triality with flat space holography and demonstrating that the resulting gauge theory symmetries are non-linearly realized and fail to close under ordinary Lie brackets.
