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.

Anisotropic marginal Fermi liquid for Coulomb interacting generalized Weyl fermions

Using a large-NN renormalization group approach, this paper demonstrates that three-dimensional generalized Weyl semimetals with monopole charge n2n \ge 2 exhibit an anisotropic marginal non-Fermi liquid phase driven by amplified Coulomb interactions, characterized by intrinsically anisotropic screening and power-law quasiparticle suppression, in contrast to the isotropic behavior found in systems with n=1n=1.

Anomaly-driven evaporation endpoints of a two-dimensional regular black hole

By replacing the Polyakov quantum sector with the dilaton-coupled FFN anomaly model in a two-dimensional regular black hole, this study demonstrates that late-time evaporation endpoints are strictly constrained to either a finite-radius remnant at r=2r_\infty=\sqrt{2}\,\ell or a highly specific soft-null branch with power-law decay p=2p=2, thereby excluding generic exponential or power-law null evaporation scenarios.
