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 investigates a generalized fractional Rabi model using Caputo derivatives to demonstrate how fractional temporal nonlocality induces controllable damping and dephasing in two-level quantum systems, offering new experimental signatures and pathways for exploring memory effects in materials like graphene and topological chains.
This paper introduces a generalization of a non-stationary difference equation linked to the affine Laumon space, conjecturing that its solutions correspond to affine Laumon partition functions and verifying this connection by demonstrating that the equation reduces to the Fuji-Suzuki-Tsuda system in the four-dimensional limit.
This paper proposes a novel fibre inflation model within the perturbative large volume scenario that utilizes base modulus redefinitions and various string corrections to achieve inflationary parameters consistent with ACT data while simultaneously incorporating a quintessence sector to explain both early- and late-time cosmic acceleration.
This paper proposes a universal extension of the Smarr formula for black hole thermodynamics by promoting all dimensionful coupling constants to dynamical variables via auxiliary fields, thereby resolving inconsistencies in standard formulations through the inclusion of their associated conjugate potentials.
This paper constructs a generalized second-order relativistic magnetohydrodynamics framework using Zubarev's nonequilibrium statistical operator to derive all dissipative tensors and Kubo formulas for a parity- and charge-conjugation-symmetric magnetized plasma, while extending the formalism to include nonlocal contributions.
This paper investigates the generalized cusp anomalous dimension for a quark-antiquark potential on a three-sphere with large -charge at strong coupling, revealing a non-analytic transition from a Coulomb-like singularity to a deconfined regime dominated by Lüscher corrections and providing a unified description of string configurations across various physical limits.
This paper extends the framework of entanglement asymmetry to higher-form symmetries, establishing an entropic Coleman-Mermin-Wagner theorem that forbids spontaneous breaking of continuous -form symmetries in dimensions and quantifies symmetry breaking through the infrared growth of entanglement asymmetry.
This paper establishes a universal geometric framework linking the synchronized multivaluedness observed in black hole phase transitions to a three-sheeted covering structure arising from two non-degenerate critical points in the temperature function, thereby providing a rigorous classification scheme and a unified perspective on black hole thermodynamics and dynamics.
This paper proposes a Hamiltonian framework using symmetry disentanglers to construct fully local, nonperturbative lattice formulations of chiral gauge theories by transforming not-on-site symmetries into on-site ones, enabling the exact realization of models like the (1+1)-dimensional "3450" theory and offering a pathway to formulate the Standard Model's hypercharge symmetry.
This paper demonstrates that neutrino decays into massless BSM particles with lifetimes of 0.01–1 Gyr can reconcile the tension between cosmological upper bounds and oscillation lower limits on the total neutrino mass by relaxing the bound to 0.23 eV, whereas decays into lighter neutrinos fail to resolve this discrepancy.
