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 warm inflation can naturally produce dark matter by retaining a residual inflaton condensate due to a rapid drop in the dissipative ratio after inflation, which for a quadratic potential with dissipation predicts a dark matter mass of approximately 0.02 MeV consistent with current cosmological constraints.
This paper presents the eight-loop computation of the three-point form factor for the operator in planar super-Yang-Mills theory, demonstrating that it shares the same polylogarithmic function space as the form factor and revealing all-order patterns in the coefficients of its symbol.
This dissertation proposes a Fractional Holographic Dark Energy (FHDE) framework by integrating Riesz fractional derivatives into black hole thermodynamics to derive a corrected entropy, which is then used to construct a new dark energy model that addresses Hubble cutoff challenges and explains late-time cosmic acceleration across various gravitational theories.
This paper corroborates that the tensionless string with gauged scale symmetry is a reduction of the conformal string to Minkowski space by performing a Dirac reduction in dimensions, demonstrating how the resulting constraint algebra maps to -dimensional Carrollian-Weyl symmetry.
This paper investigates the collision dynamics of domain walls in gauge theories using Polyakov-loop effective potential models, revealing that string junctions and vortex-antivortex pair creation are crucial mechanisms governing wall mergers and scattering in both and dimensions.
This paper proposes a -symmetric Type-III seesaw model where radiative corrections lift the vacuum degeneracy to destabilize domain walls, thereby simultaneously explaining neutrino masses, generating the baryon asymmetry via leptogenesis, and predicting a gravitational-wave spectrum potentially detectable by future observatories.
This paper proposes a finite-proper-time formulation of QED that maintains exact gauge covariance and unitarity while yielding finite vacuum polarization and a calculable anomalous magnetic moment correction, resulting in a specific on-shell electron mass prediction without the need for renormalization.
This paper generalizes the study of quasinormal modes in the SYK model from infinite to finite temperature, revealing that the relaxation rate increases monotonically with temperature only in the strong-coupling gravitational regime while contrasting these dynamics with various AdS black holes and other SYK variants.
This paper proposes a unified framework interpreting oscillons as localized discrete resonant modes arising from either threshold or antibound states due to nonlinearity, and extends this concept to predict the existence of "wobblerons" as nonlinear oscillon-kink bound states.
This paper presents a causal and stable finite-volume numerical scheme for first-order viscoresistive relativistic magnetohydrodynamics based on BDNK theory, featuring an efficient primitive-variable recovery method validated through analytical benchmarks and 2D simulations.
