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 calculates the central charged particle multiplicity distribution using a multi-channel eikonal model with AGK cutting rules, compares the results with ATLAS data at 7 and 13 TeV, and discusses the implications of color reconnection and string percolation.
This paper demonstrates that small explicit Peccei-Quinn symmetry breaking can render post-inflationary QCD axion dark matter unpredictable by introducing a new mass scale that alters the axion string-wall network dynamics and relic abundance before the QCD transition.
This paper rigorously proves that an exact internal electromagnetic duality symmetry in the 2D toric code cannot be realized by Clifford circuits, necessitating non-Clifford operations and revealing a fundamental link between exact duality and the Clifford hierarchy.
This paper investigates averaged fundamental solutions of Laplace operators in arbitrary-dimensional Euclidean space using probabilistic kernels, deriving new representations for deformed solutions and their zero values while illustrating applications to renormalization in specific quantum field models.
This paper proves and generalizes a conjecture regarding the modular transformation properties of generalized Gibbs ensembles by deriving a universal asymptotic formula for the modular S-transform of partition functions in conformal field theories perturbed by holomorphic fields, utilizing the Zhu recursion relation to show that the expansion is iteratively determined by the second-order pole coefficients of the currents' operator product expansion.
This paper proposes a theoretical framework that models the vacuum as a meson field to derive the interaction energy and force between two parallel metal plates, drawing an analogy to the nuclear force between nucleons described in Quantum Hadrodynamics.
This paper reports on the development and application of the HF-NRevo framework, which provides a consistent perturbative description of heavy-flavor fragmentation for -wave quarkonia and fully heavy tetraquarks, enabling new investigations into medium effects in heavy-ion collisions and the intrinsic charm content of the proton at future collider facilities.
This paper reviews the mathematical structure, physical origins, and diverse applications of completely monotone and Stieltjes functions in quantum field theory, highlighting their role in constraining scattering amplitudes, informing numerical bootstrap methods, and connecting to positive geometry.
This paper presents an exactly solvable non-Hermitian Klein-Gordon model where an anomalous inverse-square potential, combined with outgoing boundary conditions, transforms the fall-to-the-center instability into a discrete, log-periodic spectrum of complex energies, thereby establishing a universal framework for quantized dissipation and emergent scale anomalies in relativistic open quantum systems.
This paper investigates how symmetry-resolved entanglement entropy in a driven compact boson CFT deviates from equipartition due to an subalgebra-induced coupling between frequency modes, while also exploring the impact of non-unitary evolution on these entropies.
