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 develops a general framework for analyzing circular particle orbits under arbitrary external forces in static spherically symmetric spacetimes, revealing that such forces can induce new stable orbit branches and near-horizon trajectories in extremal black holes, thereby enabling high-energy collisions with behavior analogous to the BSW effect in rotating black holes.
This paper demonstrates that all three-dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs), including those dual to quantum gravity in AdS, possess an symmetry generated by the ANEC operator and its descendants, thereby extending previously known tree-level soft symmetry results to the strongly-coupled quantum regime.
This paper demonstrates that topological surface states, modeled via axion electrodynamics, mediate measurable modifications to classical electromagnetic radiation from sources near an interface, resulting in azimuthal symmetry breaking for antennas and a specific intensity reduction for accelerated charges due to interference with image magnetic monopoles.
This paper formulates a renormalizable complex extension of bumblebee theory coupled to an Abelian gauge sector, derives its one-loop renormalization group functions, and applies an RG-covariant Vilkovisky–DeWitt effective potential framework to demonstrate how dimensional transmutation can dynamically generate Lorentz symmetry breaking.
This paper presents ongoing lattice studies of two-dimensional maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, including the construction of a supersymmetry-preserving lattice action and the development of new simulation routines, to facilitate numerical tests of gauge-gravity duality and explore non-perturbative phenomena.
This paper constructs the supersymmetric completion of single-minus gluon amplitudes in signature, demonstrating their dual superconformal covariance and factorization properties while extending the results to supergravity.
This paper constructs scale-separated AdS flux vacua in massless type IIA string theory on a background by performing a double T-duality on massive IIA solutions with O6-planes, thereby identifying parametric families of solutions that allow for an uplift to eleven-dimensional supergravity.
This paper introduces a novel method based on separation of variables to compute structure constants in planar N=4 super Yang-Mills theory as determinants of integrals over Q-functions, successfully recovering known results for local operators and orbifold points while providing a foundation for future loop corrections.
This review article summarizes recent research on the free field construction of D-branes within N = 2 superconformal minimal models and Gepner models.
This paper demonstrates that the Kazama-Suzuki conditions imposed on the denominator subgroup of an superconformal coset model inherently define a Generalized Kähler geometry on the target space of the corresponding supersymmetric -model.
