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 article presents the first fully gauge-invariant, relativistic calculation of the second-order cosmological redshift drift using light-cone coordinates, according to which the distortion in redshift space is a second-order effect, and shows that the nonlinearities in the bispectrum are significantly enhanced compared to the squared power spectrum at low redshifts and large momenta.
This paper proposes the first examples of scale-separated vacua with extended supersymmetry by constructing circle compactifications of massive type IIA supergravity solutions, providing their ten-dimensional and three-dimensional effective descriptions, and noting that one model's superpotential was uniquely identified with the aid of AI.
This paper introduces equivariant localization as a method to compute the action of supersymmetric probe D3-branes in type IIB backgrounds derived from Kerr-Newman-AdS black holes, enabling the evaluation of non-perturbative corrections and defect operator insertions in 4D quiver SCFTs entirely from toric data.
This paper presents a positive definite formulation for calculating vacuum decay tunneling actions in the presence of spherically symmetric impurities that reduce symmetry from to , generalizing the tunneling potential method and providing analytic examples with arbitrary wall thickness.
This paper establishes that the renormalized stress-energy tensor of a massless scalar field in a collapsing null-shell spacetime approaches the Unruh state with a non-zero power-law tail at late times, a result driven by the branch-point singularity in the radial wave equation's Wronskian and confirmed by both analytical bounds and numerical data.
This paper utilizes a five-dimensional holographic Einstein-Maxwell model with Chern-Simons terms to demonstrate that explicit symmetry breaking not only modifies anomaly-induced transport but also extends its influence to the non-anomalous sector, with transport coefficients showing a distinct dependence on the symmetry-breaking mass parameter.
This article proposes a non-perturbative path integral framework that identifies renormalons as saddle points of the one-loop effective action driven by the quantum scale anomaly, thereby unifying their explanation via representative finite-dimensional integrals with that of instantons.
This paper demonstrates that non-Hermitian hopping imbalances on bipartite Euclidean and hyperbolic lattices catalyze the formation of charge- and spin-density-wave orders at significantly weaker interaction strengths than in Hermitian systems by narrowing the band width while preserving the characteristic density of states scaling near zero energy.
This paper proposes a real-time effective field theory approach to calculate work statistics for extracting work from a thermal bath coupled to a qubit, demonstrating that spin or topological qubits outperform fermionic or spinless alternatives in heat engine and refrigerator efficiency due to their underlying quantum statistics.
This paper utilizes the Hamilton-Jacobi equation and Casimir effect techniques to derive analytical expressions for the thermodynamics of magnetized BPS baryonic layers within a gauged non-linear sigma model, establishing a unique connection between the grand canonical partition function and the Riemann zeta function while explicitly incorporating the effects of non-zero Isospin chemical potential.
