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 constructs a compensator-free superconformal extension of ModMax electrodynamics in flat superspace that reduces to the known theory and ensures causal scalar propagation with specific velocity characteristics on constant electromagnetic backgrounds.
Motivated by recent DESI results suggesting a finite universe lifetime via a "Big Crunch," this paper conjectures that the universe may be configured to prevent the black hole information paradox from ever occurring in reality by ensuring black holes evaporate only after the universe's end, thereby deriving a lower mass bound for black holes based on cosmic longevity.
This paper establishes a non-perturbative classical double copy between complexified SU(2) Yang-Mills theory and four-dimensional conformally flat gravity by identifying the gauge potential with the chiral spin connection, thereby unifying gauge and gravitational fields through a "doppelgänger" framework that maps field strengths to curvature components even in the presence of constant scalar curvature and matter sources.
This paper demonstrates that spatially bilocal correlations induced by a dilute ensemble of virtual Euclidean wormholes can modify the scalar Casimir interaction between parallel Dirichlet plates, causing the interaction force to change sign and exhibit a scale-selective response dependent on the wormhole foam's statistical distribution.
This paper resolves a question posed by Rychkov and Stergiou by constructing numerous asymmetric real fixed points for multiscalar renormalization group flows in dimensions using the geometry of equiangular tight frames derived from Steiner constructions.
This paper demonstrates that a localized environmental energy distribution can induce "topological reconstruction" in black-hole thermodynamics, causing the creation, annihilation, and migration of equilibrium defects and altering their stability while preserving the total topological number across various black-hole models.
This paper demonstrates that chiral modes in deformed AdS/QCD models are isospectral due to supersymmetric partner potentials, and shows how truncating these potentials allows the fermion spectra of quadratic deformed AdS models to coincide with those of dressed soft wall models.
This paper introduces an algebraic method using Brieskorn reduction and Gauss-Manin systems to compute asymptotic expansions and Stokes constants for multidimensional oscillatory integrals without calculating gradient flows, as demonstrated by the open-source Julia package Resurgence.jl.
This paper computes perturbative defect CFT data up to for scalar line defects across various scalar models, including new results for four non- theories, while proposing a comprehensive framework to verify these results through crossing symmetry, OPE reconstruction, and broken-symmetry integral identities.
This paper numerically investigates five-dimensional vacuum gravitational collapse with angular momentum, revealing that while mass scaling near the threshold of black-hole formation follows a universal critical exponent, the angular-momentum scaling exhibits non-universal critical exponents that depend on the initial data family.
