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 establishes a novel connection between topological entanglement and number theory by introducing a -deformed Witten zeta function within 3d Chern-Simons theory, demonstrating that the large- limit of Rényi entropies for torus link complements converges to values determined by classical Witten zeta functions, which admit a geometric interpretation via symplectic volumes of moduli spaces of flat connections.
This paper studies Lorentzian left-invariant metrics on almost abelian Lie groups of dimension four or higher, constructing a geodesically complete, Ricci-flat, non-flat metric that generalizes the four-dimensional Petrov solution to arbitrary dimensions and admits closed timelike curves.
This paper investigates gravitational waves in linearized Horndeski theory with an arbitrary potential, demonstrating that the potential's minimum acts as an effective cosmological constant that induces distinct frequency and wave number redshifts while influencing the speed and polarization of scalar waves.
This paper presents a unified free field realization of the Ding-Iohara algebra at arbitrary levels using six free boson fields, derived from a specialized factorization of the structure function, and subsequently develops intertwining operators based on this construction.
This paper generalizes the free field construction of Heterotic string models from Gepner points to all Calabi-Yau manifolds of Berglund-Hubsch type by utilizing the Batyrev-Borisov combinatorial approach to define vertex operators via Borisov differentials and derive particle spectrum representations directly from reflexive Batyrev polytopes.
This paper proposes that Planck Star Remnants, formed via nonsingular quantum bounces in Loop Quantum Cosmology that remain causally hidden and stable after black hole evaporation, constitute a viable candidate for dark matter consistent with current astrophysical constraints.
This paper demonstrates that traditional local gauge potentials and transformations for the C-field on M5 branes in curved spacetimes and orbifolds emerge naturally from the global completion of flux quantization via twisted equivariant cohomotopy, specifically by constructing explicit surjections from null concordances of cohomotopically charged fluxes under Hypothesis H.
This paper presents a general construction of -extended conformal field theories and their orbifoldings by deriving -symmetry extended fusion rings and modular partition functions for nonanomalous subgroups, which provide fundamental algebraic data for symmetry topological field theories and describe charged or gapped domain walls and massless renormalization group flows via the folding trick.
This paper demonstrates that applying a recently proposed entropy function to lattice transfer matrices constructed via the topological holographic principle provides an efficient, cost-effective strategy for identifying critical boundary conditions, estimating central charges, and mapping multi-dimensional phase diagrams, even for small system sizes.
This paper proposes the Thermodynamic Split Conjecture, which asserts that black hole and cosmological horizon thermodynamics are fundamentally inequivalent in any UV-complete quantum gravity, and outlines a falsifiable observational test using tomographic entropy proxies to distinguish between these regimes and refine our understanding of cosmological horizon entropy.
