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 demonstrates that the mathematical equations governing the masses of glueballs in the holographic QCD hardwall model are identical to those describing the vibrations of a classical circular drumhead, thereby providing a compelling motivation for undergraduate students to study drumhead dynamics as a gateway to understanding advanced particle physics.
This paper presents lattice evidence supporting the gauge-gravity correspondence in 3D maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory by demonstrating that the spatial deconfinement transition temperatures for colors follow the holographic prediction .
This paper investigates the conjecture that non-unitary conformal minimal models arise from complex scalar field theories by testing long-range deformations, finding inconsistencies for but confirming that the long-range Lee-Yang model () behaves analogously to the long-range Ising model.
This paper investigates the late-time asymptotic behavior and attractor structure of spin density in minimal causal spin hydrodynamics under Gubser flow, demonstrating that in specific regimes, spin density decays as a hydrodynamic mode governed by late-time scaling laws similar to conventional thermodynamic variables.
This paper formulates the time-of-arrival problem for relativistic particles on a ring within Quantum Field Theory using the Quantum Temporal Probabilities method to derive POVMs, revealing how the ring's topology enables multi-pass detection, rotation induces Unruh-like noise, and entanglement generates non-classical temporal correlations, thereby realizing a quantum clock sensitive to local spacetime structure.
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.
