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 investigates whether the holographic quark-antiquark potential can detect a higher-order phase transition between planar charged Reissner-Nordström-AdS and hairy black holes, concluding that while the potential values coincide at the transition point, one phase consistently dominates the other, a behavior also observed in higher-dimensional probes like holographic entanglement entropy.
This paper investigates how the combined effects of relativistic accretion and memory-burdened evaporation alter the evolution of primordial black holes, potentially allowing low-mass black holes to survive to the present day as dark matter while also analyzing their impact on dark radiation and dark matter emission during earlier evaporation phases.
This paper promotes the global symmetry of the Schwarzian derivative to a local gauge symmetry by constructing a gauge-invariant analogue of the Schwarzian derivative through a composite field method, thereby enabling the study of topological sectors and locally invariant couplings in two-dimensional gravity contexts.
This paper validates a compact-binary mass-shell model by demonstrating that its variational predictions for radiated energy align with observational data from 38 out of 45 gravitational wave events within reported uncertainties, confirming the model's ability to capture leading-order energy scaling while highlighting specific areas for future refinement.
This paper advances the exact-WKB formalism for general one-dimensional potentials by analyzing spectral transitions across sectors via complexification, deriving exact median quantization conditions and trans-series structures for asymmetric triple-well and tilted double-well systems, and establishing transformation rules for genus-1 resurgence data that clarify the link between path integrals and exact-WKB methods.
This paper proposes a framework associating generalized entanglement wedges in arbitrary spacetimes with algebras in a fundamental holographic description, suggesting that algebraic entropy inequalities naturally explain the inclusion monotonicity and strong subadditivity of these wedges while offering a generalized Ryu-Takayanagi formula.
This paper strengthens the case for an ultraviolet fixed point in asymptotically safe dilaton quantum gravity using gauge invariant flow equations, demonstrating that the resulting scaling solution can simultaneously describe early-universe inflation and late-time dynamical dark energy.
This paper demonstrates that the evolution operator of Polchinski's Exact Renormalization Group equation possesses an symmetry for any form of the UV cutoff function, with the special conformal generators adapting to the specific cutoff, thereby establishing a universal holographic symmetry structure for both interaction and full Wilson actions.
This paper presents a self-contained derivation of the Hamiltonian formulation of General Relativity in vielbein variables across dimensions, establishing the constraint algebra, relating it to the metric formulation, and constructing the boost generator to recover full local Lorentz symmetry within an -covariant framework.
This paper introduces a constructive asymptotic regularization method for quantum field theory that isolates and subtracts ultraviolet divergences by decomposing integrand asymptotics, thereby preserving covariance and gauge symmetry while offering a novel derivation of logarithmic terms independent of standard renormalization-group flows.
