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 a new worldsheet action for entanglement entropy in AdS/CFT that derives Einstein equations, interprets bit threads as string charge densities, and unifies the Susskind-Uglum conjecture, open-closed string duality, and ER=EPR by linking open and closed string charges to entanglement and Bekenstein-Hawking entropy respectively.
This paper investigates the stability thresholds of de Sitter and Minkowski spacetimes in holographic semiclassical gravity across dimensions , revealing that stability depends critically on the spacetime dimension and a specific dimensionless parameter , with Minkowski spacetime being universally unstable in , both spacetimes becoming unstable in beyond a critical threshold, and both remaining stable in except where higher-curvature corrections dominate.
This paper establishes universal principles and practical frameworks for simulating non-Abelian gauge theories on quantum computers by demonstrating that both gauge-singlet and non-singlet representations are valid, offering efficient circuit constructions, error analyses, and resource estimates for real-world QCD applications.
This paper develops a general canonical quantization scheme for -essence cosmology using the Dirac-Bergmann algorithm to derive a Wheeler-DeWitt equation, which is then applied to a tachyonic field model to investigate phantom crossing via quantum tunneling and the effects of boundary conditions on singularity avoidance and expansion rates.
This pedagogical paper calculates the essential ingredients, including irreducible representations, lasso maps, and a 22-by-22 modular S matrix, to enable a modular conformal bootstrap analysis of non-rational Virasoro CFTs with categorical symmetry, while highlighting the unique features arising from non-invertible symmetries.
This study proposes a novel, tighter generalized entropic uncertainty relation for multi-measurements in many-body systems and applies it to Schwarzschild black holes to reveal the exact equivalence between entanglement and -norm coherence in GHZ-type states, while demonstrating how increasing Hawking temperature degrades quantum coherence and maximizes measurement uncertainty.
This paper investigates the algebraic structure of fuzzy sphere models for 3d CFTs by verifying the Jacobi identity of their density operators, analyzing their behavior in distinct thermodynamic limits, and constructing an explicit $so(3,2)$ conformal algebra representation that reveals a structural mismatch with the thermodynamic limit of critical systems.
This paper introduces a generative framework based on denoising diffusion to perform model-independent, non-parametric reconstruction of proton gravitational form factors from sparse and noisy data, enabling robust extraction of chiral low-energy constants and the nucleon D-term across the full kinematic range.
This paper extends Jacobson's thermodynamic derivation of gravity to non-extensive horizon entropies by introducing a Topological Calibration Principle that links the effective gravitational coupling to the Euler characteristic of spacetime sections, thereby providing a framework to constrain non-extensive parameters and explore cosmological implications.
This paper generalizes the jet transport coefficient to a Lorentz-covariant diffusion tensor to describe momentum broadening in out-of-equilibrium media, revealing new energy-momentum correlations and demonstrating that non-equilibrium corrections can either enhance or reduce broadening depending on the initial distribution.
