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 utilizes a new symplectic structure formula to calculate the momentum of a moving analytic lump solution in Witten's open string field theory, providing a novel method to determine D-brane tension and proving its consistency with the on-shell action via homotopy algebra.
The paper investigates whether the 2-loop correction to the M2-brane free energy in reproduces the term of the surface defect anomaly in the 6d (2,0) theory, finding that the correction vanishes and suggesting a possible discrepancy between and $SU(N)$ descriptions.
The paper demonstrates that integral kernels for functions of a second-order differential operator can be expanded into a functional series that separates the geometric information of the operator (via standard HaMiDeW coefficients) from the specific properties of the function (via new basis and massive kernels) using Mellin–Barnes representations.
This paper investigates the physical properties of traversable wormhole-plus-neutron-star systems supported by scalar fields, demonstrating that the inclusion of fluid anisotropy and magnetic fields can lead to extremely massive configurations and distinctive gravitational-wave echo signals.
The paper demonstrates that in the Krylov basis, Hall's exact uncertainty relation implies that operator evolution occurs at a constant speed on a unit sphere, where the first Lanczos coefficient serves as a universal geometric speed limit for both integrable and chaotic quantum dynamics.
This paper proposes and validates a conjectured formula that systematically maps covariant off-shell amplitudes to light-cone wave functions in scalar field theory, providing a more efficient computational alternative to traditional light-cone perturbation theory.
This paper constructs and analyzes new classes of topological AdS black holes within ModMax and ModAMax nonlinear electrodynamics, investigating their thermodynamic properties, stability, Joule-Thomson expansion, and efficiency as heat engines.
This paper presents a high-order calculation of the conservative radial action and scattering angle for two non-spinning bodies in general relativity up to , utilizing a scattering-amplitude framework and improved integration-by-parts algorithms to include second-order self-force effects without truncation.
The paper proves that holographic entropy inequalities satisfy a "majorization test," a property which suggests these constraints remain valid under time-dependent conditions and provides further insight into their connections to quantum error correction and the Renormalization Group.
This paper provides the first rigorous exact calculations for timelike Liouville field theory beyond the charge-neutral case at the specific coupling by leveraging a determinantal structure in the Coulomb-gas expansion to derive explicit representations for various correlation functions.
