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 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.
This paper presents a new Lorentzian Taub-NUT black hole solution in gravity that extends the Clifton-Barrow metric for , analyzes its physical properties including orbits and thermodynamics, and derives a related Euclidean Eguchi-Hanson type-II solution.
Using the latest DESI DR2, Planck, ACT, and SH0ES data, this study demonstrates that an interacting dark energy model derived from asymptotic-safety quantum gravitational field theory significantly improves the cosmological fit and alleviates the tension to a level by favoring a negative dynamical scale parameter for the cosmological constant.
This paper proposes a mechanism for generating mass terms and fermionic zero modes in IKKT and BFSS matrix theories via specific fermionic boundary conditions during torus compactification, enabling the construction of fuzzy sphere black hole solutions in the BFSS framework where fermionic quantum excitations account for the black hole entropy.
This paper resolves a long-standing question by Vafa and Witten regarding the relationship between S-duality and conformal field theory by constructing an affine -action on the cohomology of instanton moduli spaces on blown-up surfaces and identifying these modules as basic representations of the affine vertex algebra, thereby linking Yoshioka's blow-up formula to the level 1 WZW model.
This paper explores the dark bubble model in string theory, predicting that gravity weakens at micron scales and high energy densities to explain early inflation and the cosmological constant, while also proposing a quantum origin for the universe involving a 5D black hole.
This paper revisits an analytical scheme for computing nonlinearity ratios involving quadratic quasinormal modes, demonstrating excellent agreement with numerical simulations for the channel while identifying limitations in other cases and confirming the robustness of these ratios against source regularization choices at both the horizon and infinity.
This paper presents general four-loop beta functions and anomalous field dimensions for renormalizable scalar-fermion theories in three dimensions, deriving supersymmetry constraints, identifying a new perturbatively controlled IR fixed point in the large- limit, and providing comprehensive numerical and analytic results for the required four-loop master integrals.
This paper utilizes lattice QCD data to demonstrate that the gluon gravitational form factors of various hadrons are well-described by a dilaton effective theory where the -meson acts as a pseudo-Goldstone boson of spontaneously broken scale symmetry, thereby supporting the existence of an infrared fixed point in QCD dynamics.
