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 presents a constrained Hamiltonian formulation of a specific supersymmetric KdV equation (with parameter ) using the Dirac-Bergmann algorithm, revealing a unique nonlocal contribution to the Hamiltonian density arising from fermionic consistency conditions and demonstrating the equivalence between the derived Hamiltonian dynamics and the component-form supersymmetric KdV system.
This paper reveals a multiscale structure in the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis by demonstrating that the statistical properties of matrix elements in macroscopic systems depend not only on macrostate parameters but also on the fluctuation scale of the sampling ensemble, leading to non-analytic, scale-dependent algebraic exponents.
This paper investigates fermionic trace relations and supersymmetric indices at finite within matrix models, revealing that Grassmann-valued matrices generate unique trace relations that can cause indices to increase as decreases, and demonstrates that a specific -BPS index in SYM is independent of due to cancellations between bosonic and fermionic constraints.
This paper employs effective field theory to calculate the Compton scattering amplitude between a gravitational wave graviton and a LIGO-like suspended mass, deriving a convergent cross section and impact parameter that align with astrophysical strain scales and mirror recoil measurements while offering new insights into compact binary coalescence dynamics.
This paper proposes a manifestly duality-invariant, Lorentz-invariant, and local action for quantum electrodynamics with magnetic monopoles based on Sen's formalism, which resolves prior ambiguities by using field strengths as dynamical variables and confirms consistent tree- and loop-level outcomes, including charge renormalization and the renormalization group invariance of charge quantization.
This article presents a perturbative calculation of time-dependent holographic entanglement entropy and complexity for an expanding FLRW universe within a braneworld model, analyzes various matter sources (radiation, matter, and exotic matter), and confirms consistency with earlier non-perturbative results.
This paper derives the exact Green's function for fermions interacting with an external non-Abelian Yang-Mills gauge field configured as a plane wave on the light cone.
This article investigates whether the teleparallel equivalent of general relativity (TEGR) can be formulated as a gauge theory on principal fiber bundles by analyzing how the treatment of the non-dynamical teleparallel connection as either an absolute element or a non-absolute structure determines whether the gauge group of the theory is a subgroup of or the entire diffeomorphism group.
This article investigates conserved quantities and introduces a new on-shell notion of asymptotic integrability for scattering off Kerr black holes, demonstrating that rotating probes satisfy Liouville integrability up to fourth order in spin and to all post-Minkowskian orders, with extensions beyond the probe limit at low orders.
This article proposes that the Euclidean path integral on non-time-orientable elliptic de Sitter spacetime defines a no-boundary density matrix rather than a wave function, as demonstrated by the explicit calculation of entanglement entropies for free Dirac fermions, revealing a unique property in which the global Hilbert space is one-dimensional while the Hilbert spaces of individual observers remain nontrivial.
