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 brane expansion formulas for the Schur index of SYM decorated by anti-symmetric Wilson line operators, utilizing a D5-brane realization to derive a double-sum expansion for the large limit and a quadruple-sum expansion for finite , where corrections are attributed to disk D3-branes ending on the D5-brane.
This paper investigates the power spectrum of a uniformly accelerating scalar field within -deformed space-time to derive first-order corrections to the Unruh temperature, demonstrates its consistency with -deformed uncertainty relations in the small acceleration limit, and establishes an upper bound on the deformation parameter.
This paper develops a causally consistent framework for quantum cellular automata that synthesizes spatially extended quantum measurements, such as Bell-basis projections, from strictly local operations and causal propagation, thereby resolving the tension between observable locality and relativistic measurement dynamics without invoking instantaneous collapse.
This paper utilizes Neumann's normal form and Heegaard Floer homology to determine the unknotting numbers of 112 knots with at most thirteen crossings, including 43 cases where the double branched cover bounds a negative-definite plumbing, and identifies the knot 13n1587 as a new counterexample to the Bernhard–Jablan conjecture.
This paper presents analytic results for the two-loop renormalization constants and in Feynman gauge QED within the on-shell scheme, including their high-order expansion coefficients in the dimensional regularization parameter up to order , which are essential for future multiloop calculations in QED and QCD.
This paper extends the established duality between black hole and Bose gas thermodynamics to black brane solutions, demonstrating that while Schwarzschild black holes violate the third law of thermodynamics, certain black branes (such as Poincaré and Lifshitz types) preserve it by mapping to specific non-relativistic Bose gases in unconventional spatial dimensions.
This paper demonstrates that the thermodynamics of Schwarzschild black holes in and spacetime dimensions can be modeled by Bose gases with specific power-law energy spectra in negative spatial dimensions, showing that minimal cut-off renormalization yields results consistent with analytical regularization via the Riemann zeta-function.
This paper proposes that by considering specific mass-charge relationships in Reissner-Nordström black holes (and extending the analysis to Kerr and de Sitter variants), complete evaporation can occur without a temperature blow-up, resulting in radiation entropy that follows the Page curve and vanishes at the end of the process.
This paper investigates the large-level limit of doubled Chern-Simons theory as a bridge to three-dimensional theory, demonstrating that regular torus states and modular transformations converge to their counterparts while characterizing the resulting boundary theories and gapped interfaces.
This paper formulates and verifies a hypothesis regarding the system of screening charges for the conformal field theories that serve as integrable deformations for -deformed sigma models with odd , extending previous results on models to specific supergroup cases.
