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 and proves the non-negativity of a tripartite correlation signal based on the entanglement of purification to characterize genuine tripartite entanglement in both finite-dimensional quantum systems and holographic AdS/CFT models, while also suggesting a generalization to -partite cases.
This paper proposes that regular primordial black holes can evaporate completely without forming exotic remnants by redefining their regularization parameters, thereby providing a unified framework to resolve both the black hole singularity problem and the dark matter abundance through modified Hawking evaporation dynamics.
This paper proposes a holographic definition of thermodynamic pressure and volume for black holes based on quasi-local gravitational thermodynamics, demonstrating that this framework allows for a consistent definition of extensivity and a large-system limit where both Schwarzschild and Anti-de-Sitter black holes transition from non-extensive to extensive behavior.
This paper presents a non-perturbative renormalization program within the mass gap approach to QCD that dynamically generates massive gluons, analyzes their full propagator to resolve canonical gauge inconsistencies, and demonstrates how their off-shell nature ensures confinement by preventing them from appearing in the physical spectrum.
This paper investigates the thermodynamic properties, topological classification, and astrophysical signatures—including photon polarization effects, black hole shadows, and accretion disk emissions—of charged black holes modified by Weyl corrections to spacetime curvature.
This paper utilizes the cosmological Grassmannian to derive a closed-form expression for four-point wavefunction coefficients of conformally coupled scalars exchanging a particle of general mass and spin, expressing the result in terms of hypergeometric functions and Legendre polynomials to simplify the cosmological bootstrap computation.
This paper investigates algebraic locality principles on 2+1D closed lattices with non-invertible Gauss laws, demonstrating that while Haag duality holds exactly for "cuspless" regions, it requires a collar-induced weak form for cusped regions, and establishing both standard and weakened disjoint additivity for double models and general Hopf algebra constraints.
This paper demonstrates that coupling Ostrogradsky ghosts to dissipative baths within a non-equilibrium Keldysh-Lindblad framework can stabilize these unstable modes through a dissipative phase transition, effectively suppressing ghost excitations via either dynamically generated effective masses or strong overdamping.
This paper re-evaluates the proposed Higgs-top-Z mass coincidence relation using 2025 PDG data and NNLO matching, finding that while the pole-level geometric relation remains a viable test, the corresponding exact running-coupling boundary condition is incompatible with measurements, thereby necessitating a finite matching factor or new symmetry to explain the observed mass spectrum.
This paper introduces a generalized Cartan geometry framework based on differential graded Lie algebras that extends the tangent bundle to incorporate both global duality and local gauge groups, enabling the systematic construction of connections, torsion, and curvature for generic generalized geometries and their realization on the phase space of M-theory branes.
