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 simple dissipative dark energy scenario that explains the recent DESI observations of an evolving dark energy component crossing the phantom divide without requiring pathological phantom-like dynamics.
This paper investigates the off-shell thermodynamics and phase transitions of holographic conformal field theories dual to charged AdS black holes across three distinct ensembles, utilizing a stochastic Fokker-Planck framework to analyze transition kinetics, first-passage times, and their dependence on electric charge and central charge.
This paper revisits the path integral quantization of tensionless bosonic strings by demonstrating that treating Carroll-Weyl scaling as a genuine local gauge symmetry necessitates extending the standard BMS $bc$ ghost system to a $bcs$ system, thereby fundamentally altering the BRST complex and the conditions for anomaly cancellation.
This paper constructs a new physical model based on the algebra that generalizes the Heisenberg algebra by introducing nontrivial commutation relations between flat positions and momenta while promoting the Planck constant to an operator.
This paper investigates fermionic Kaluza-Klein mode mixing in thick braneworlds under generic perturbations, demonstrating that an exact Singular Value Decomposition of the resulting off-diagonal mass matrix reveals structured mass corrections and parity-dependent spatial polarization that can illuminate previously "dark" KK modes.
This paper establishes that the operator derived from the fundamental solution of the quantum difference equation for Nakajima varieties is regular at primitive -th roots of unity, thereby providing an explicit description of the spectrum of the -curvature for the associated quantum connection via its relationship to Frobenius twists.
This paper extends the holographic V-QCD model by incorporating a charged scalar field to describe quark pairing, revealing a phase diagram with a second-order transition to color superconductivity at temperatures up to ~30 MeV, though the formation of homogeneous paired phases is found to be subdominant to previously discovered modulated phases.
This paper investigates the summation of non-logarithmic singularities in a two-dimensional non-linear sigma model to derive an explicit formula that reproduces a specific part of the quantum action upon formal expansion, while also introducing and analyzing a new auxiliary function.
This paper challenges the prevailing view that non-invertible SPT phases lack symmetric entanglers by using topological holography to argue for their existence in d systems with fixed-charge dualities, and explicitly constructs such an entangler for -symmetric phases as a matrix product unitary.
This paper demonstrates that relativistic superfluids maintain indefinite quantum coherence and stability to all orders in perturbation theory by utilizing a non-Gaussian interacting vacuum state, thereby preserving the gapless nature of phonon modes and the Goldstone theorem even in the presence of spontaneously broken Lorentz symmetry.
