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.

This paper presents a perturbative framework using Gaussian random matrices to derive explicit expressions for energy transfer rates and heat conductance in randomly coupled quantum systems, providing leading- and next-to-leading-order results for various density of states in the large- limit.
This paper utilizes an extensive classification of eight-dimensional Manin triples to generate new supergravity solutions, including curved backgrounds with torsion and non-unimodular Yang-Baxter deformations, via Poisson-Lie T-plurality transformations applied to flat 1+3-dimensional backgrounds.
This paper establishes a unified framework linking macroscopic Geometric Thermodynamics and microscopic Information Geometry by introducing a Kähler metric on thermodynamic manifolds and deriving exact partition functions for Calabi-Vesentini event manifolds, which leads to a generalized Souriau thermodynamics featuring spontaneous symmetry breaking analogous to magnetization and provides exact Gibbs distributions for Cartan Neural Networks.
This paper resolves discrepancies in the literature regarding the effective scalaron-photon coupling in gravity by demonstrating that the trace anomaly, arising from the transformation between Jordan and Einstein frames, cancels the diagrammatic contribution in the limit of light scalaron mass, thereby leading to a vanishing effective coupling and a suppressed decay rate into photons.
This paper demonstrates that the spherically symmetric sectors of -matrix quantum mechanics exhibit a negative-to-positive heat capacity transition, known as a "caloric fold," which serves as a tractable matrix model for capturing key thermodynamic features of black holes in anti-de Sitter spaces.
This paper critiques existing semi-classical and quantum gravity frameworks to propose a teleparallel approach based on coframe and spin-connection variables, arguing that encoding gravity in torsion offers a geometrically refined foundation for future quantum gravity investigations.
This paper demonstrates that stationary scalar clouds around a rotating Kalb-Ramond BTZ black hole are jointly determined by the Kalb-Ramond parameter, rotation, and Robin boundary conditions, with the Kalb-Ramond parameter qualitatively altering the existence lines of these clouds by introducing nonmonotonic behavior for positive values and shifting the critical boundary parameters.
This paper investigates the Einstein-de Haas effect in an expanding quark-gluon plasma using a quasiparticle model, revealing that the induced angular velocity grows with proper time and reaches significant magnitudes near the crossover temperature, thereby establishing a distinct transition between spin-dominated and inertia-dominated regimes driven by magnetic fields.
This paper proposes and studies all-multiplicity building blocks for tree-level string amplitudes in AdS, deriving monodromy relations for open-string integrals and KLT factorization for closed-string integrals to extend non-commutative AdS uplifts to general -point kinematics.
This paper establishes a general framework for analyzing quantum scalar fields in warped geometries containing topological defects by decomposing curvature, separating field equations, and deriving normalized mode functions to evaluate the Hadamard two-point function in specific cases like global monopoles in AdS spacetime.
