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 resolves the violation of local thermodynamic relations in relativistic spin fluids by identifying a specific family of pseudo-gauges that restore standard thermodynamics, thereby deriving universal relations and explicit equations of state for free Dirac fermions and scalar fields.
This paper investigates a modified gravity theory with a non-minimal coupling within an effective field theory framework, deriving a black brane solution and demonstrating that this interaction modifies holographic transport coefficients—specifically violating the color DC conductivity bound for positive coupling and the KSS shear viscosity bound for negative coupling—while remaining consistent with standard Einstein-Yang-Mills results in the vanishing coupling limit.
This paper constructs new type-IIB supergravity solutions via TsT transformations on an uplifted soliton geometry, identifying specific marginal and dipole deformations, and analyzes their impact on various holographic observables such as Wilson loops, entanglement entropy, and central charges.
This paper establishes a universal Lagrangian identity for Nambu-Goto -branes and demonstrates its application in gravity, revealing that the proper mass of cosmic string loops and closed -branes can evolve over cosmological timescales, a phenomenon absent in standard general relativity.
This paper computes holographic Euclidean thermal correlators for scalar operators using a distributional Fourier series on the thermal circle, yielding a manifestly periodic result that recovers all OPE coefficients (including the double-trace sector) and reveals bouncing singularities as non-perturbative transseries sectors with vanishing parameters.
This paper proposes that incorporating gravitational backreaction into holographic models requires approximate quantum error correction rather than exact codes, introducing a new entropy decomposition where "proto-area" emerges from tripartite non-local magic in the encoding map, thereby establishing a state-dependent link between bulk matter entropy and boundary geometry.
This paper advances the Covariant Phase Space Formalism by establishing a parallel geometric framework for the Solution Phase Space that utilizes the Frobenius theorem to derive slicing-independent integrability criteria, define intrinsic geometric quantities like connection and torsion, and distinguish between gauge artifacts and genuine physical fluxes.
This paper derives a reduced one-fluid plasma model from the relativistic Vlasov-Boltzmann-Maxwell system using moment hierarchy reduction and strong-guide-field ordering, resulting in a closed GENERIC framework that unifies reversible electromagnetic dynamics with irreversible thermodynamic relaxation through a scalar regulator variable representing coarse-grained charge imbalance and pressure anisotropy.
This paper presents a specific 1D quantum potential with vanishing perturbative series, demonstrating that its nonperturbative vacuum energy is fully determined by the actions of complex classical paths solving the holomorphic Newton equation.
This paper constructs a two-dimensional holographic model on the celestial sphere that successfully reproduces key infrared phenomena of four-dimensional Abelian gauge and gravitational theories, including superrotation/supertranslation matching conditions, soft theorems, and the resolution of infrared divergences through the use of Faddeev-Kulish dressed states.
