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 the fuzzy sphere approach to determine boundary conformal field theory data for the normal and ordinary boundary universality classes of 3D and Wilson-Fisher fixed points, successfully extracting operator spectra and OPE coefficients while providing microscopic evidence for extraordinary-log boundary criticality.
The paper proposes that ultra-high-energy cosmic rays observed originating from the local cosmic void are likely relatively light magnetic monopoles, whose fraction above 10²⁰ eV can be determined through full-sky observations.
This paper demonstrates that an Unruh-DeWitt detector's transition rates in a four-dimensional Minkowski spacetime with toroidal spatial topology () encode signatures of the global topology, revealing how local quantum measurements can detect large-scale spatial structure through the analysis of inertial and accelerated trajectories.
This paper derives exact expressions for the factors in the Hadamard form of the retarded Green function for the Teukolsky equation on Schwarzschild spacetime by utilizing a conformal direct-product metric to obtain a separable direct part and its multipolar modes, ultimately providing an improved representation of the Green function near coincidence for gravitational perturbations.
This paper investigates the late-time evolution of an anisotropic Bianchi-I universe containing radiation and electromagnetic fields within asymptotically safe gravity, revealing that quantum effects soften anisotropy in radiation-dominated scenarios while the presence of a cosmological constant ultimately drives the universe toward an isotropic de Sitter phase, whereas its absence leads to a persistent Kasner-type anisotropic regime.
This paper investigates how quantum entanglement and Bell-inequality violations in top-antitop pair production at future lepton colliders serve as sensitive probes for distinguishing the Standard Model from new physics scenarios involving scalar mediators, bosons, and Kaluza-Klein gravitons.
This paper proves that a harmonic oscillator coupled to a ghost degree of freedom remains quantum-stable with bounded second moments for all time, provided the interaction is bounded and vanishes at large separations, thereby demonstrating that ghost-induced instabilities are not inevitable consequences of wrong-sign kinetic terms but depend critically on the interaction structure.
This paper computes and compares the holographic complexity of conformal quantum fields in global de Sitter spacetime using both volume and action prescriptions across two distinct setups: a CFT on the conformal boundary of AdS and a CFT on a UV brane embedded within it, while contrasting these findings with results from alternative de Sitter coordinate patches.
This paper constructs symmetric asymptotically AdS black brane solutions with infinite curvature corrections, demonstrating that while these corrections modify the approach to the singularity without resolving it, a non-trivial dilaton can dynamically generate a negative cosmological constant at small coupling to potentially explain asymptotic freedom in a string dual of QCD.
This paper identifies the internal low-energy symmetry of two-dimensional quadratic-band-touching Hamiltonians as the unitary symplectic group $USp(2N)$, constructs the corresponding rotationally invariant interacting theory, and demonstrates that for lattice systems like honeycomb, this symmetry reduces to the unitary group through the intersection of symplectic and orthogonal symmetries.
