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 derives the gravitational energy-momentum pseudo-tensor for non-metric gravity, establishes its local conservation, draws analogies with gravity, and applies the formalism to analyze gravitational wave power and the energy density of Schwarzschild spacetime.
This paper proposes that toroidal sigma models unified by holomorphic modular symmetry and mapped via mirror symmetry to elliptic models provide a framework for understanding the quantum Hall effect, yielding a critical delocalization exponent that aligns closely with numerical simulations and offers a potential reconciliation with experimental data.
This paper proves that the 4-dimensional Galois representations associated with a specific Calabi-Yau threefold, identified as a "rank-2 attractor," are reducible with 2-dimensional factors derived from modular forms of weights 2 and 4 at level 14, thereby confirming a conjecture by Meyer and Verrill.
This paper demonstrates that the near-horizon geometry of generic non-extremal black holes can be characterized as a String-Carroll geometry, providing a unified framework to analyze particle geodesics and scalar fields across various black hole solutions by explicitly mapping them to this structure and verifying the results through direct near-horizon limits.
This paper derives closed expressions for universal functions governing correlation functions in topologically twisted supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on four-manifolds with by combining Seiberg-Witten geometry, the -plane integral, and the blowup formula, thereby identifying these results with generating functions of Segre invariants for moduli spaces of sheaves on complex algebraic surfaces.
This paper theoretically investigates the gravitomagnetic Aharonov-Bohm effect for Cooper pairs in Kerr spacetime, deriving a gauge-invariant phase shift induced by black hole frame-dragging that predicts enormous phase values near supermassive black holes like Sgr A* and M87*, thereby establishing a quantitative link between quantum coherence and strong-field gravity.
This paper analytically investigates scalar superradiant scattering in rotating dyonic Kerr-Sen black holes using the asymptotic matching method, revealing that while electric and magnetic charges suppress amplification compared to the Kerr limit, lighter co-rotating scalar fields enhance energy extraction efficiency within the derived superradiant condition.
This paper provides a direct correlator-level verification of Abelian Chern-Simons dualities by constructing an explicit local operator realization that quantitatively reproduces Dirac fermion correlation functions, confirming the predicted mass deformation relations and the equivalence of fermionic and topological gauge currents at the infrared fixed point.
This paper systematically constructs non-Clifford symmetry-protected topological higher-order cluster states using generalized Z gates, demonstrating that these states exhibit -fold ground state degeneracy with free spins at each edge, thereby enabling -qubit input and output capabilities in measurement-based quantum computation.
This paper investigates gravitational wave radiation from periodic orbits in regular black hole spacetimes, demonstrating distinct differences from singular Schwarzschild geometry through orbit characteristics, strain profiles, and power spectra to aid in developing detection templates for LISA while providing new analytical expressions for Schwarzschild radiation.
