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 systematic method to derive analytical time-domain gravitational waveforms for hyperbolic black-hole scattering at first order in the self-force expansion and all orders in the post-Newtonian/post-Minkowskian expansion by introducing a dimensional-regularization-inspired prescription to resolve divergences and expressing the solution through Lauricella functions.
This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of radion/dilaton portal freeze-in dark matter in stabilized warped extra-dimensional models, demonstrating that keV-TeV scale particles can achieve the observed relic density when the reheating temperature is below the radion mass, while also identifying Lyman-alpha constraints as a unique probe for this scenario.
This paper systematically investigates BPS cohomologies in SYM theory for within the BMN sector, revealing that non-Coulomb graviton cohomologies exist for , that the lightest black hole states are "heavier" brane-fused types with non-trivial R-charge, and that these black hole cohomologies likely possess parity opposite to that of gravitons in the same charge sector.
This paper proposes that Grand Unified Theory models featuring biased domain walls can collapse to form magnetically charged black holes, where the discrete symmetry breaking parameter determines whether these objects are light and short-lived or astrophysical and stable enough to satisfy current observational constraints on magnetic monopole density.
This paper proves a conjectured factorized formula for the determinant of an evaluation matrix associated with a degeneracy graph by establishing a block-triangular structure via graph analogues of Newton polynomials, thereby revealing that the determinant's exponents correspond to overlap volumes of higher-dimensional Young diagrams and enabling the explicit recursive inversion of the matrix.
This paper extends the realization of de Sitter space as a transient Glauber–Sudarshan excited state from type IIB to heterotic and string theories via M-theory dualities, demonstrating that such constructions evade vacuum-based no-go theorems, satisfy the null energy condition, and comply with the Trans-Planckian Censorship Conjecture.
This paper extends the Bogomolny–Zinn-Justin cancellation mechanism to multi-well quantum systems by deriving multi-instanton contributions from Euclidean path integrals, demonstrating how Picard–Lefschetz relations between integration contours reproduce exact-WKB Stokes jumps, and identifying ambiguities in event sequence mappings at higher nonperturbative orders.
This paper utilizes the open solid torus as a finite parent geometry to derive simple, nonsingular modular generators for spherical regions in conformal field theory, which unify known constructions like Rindler and CHM flows as singular limits while resolving center obstructions in complexified ball flows across various field types.
This paper establishes a unified framework for analyzing the linear stability and Lyapunov exponents of particle orbits in generic stationary spacetimes by extending previous methods beyond circular orbits to a full four-dimensional phase space, with analytical solutions derived for cases admitting a rank-2 Killing tensor and validated through various classical and relativistic examples.
This paper develops a systematic Whitham-based framework to construct perturbative/non-perturbative relations for one-dimensional quantum systems by preserving independent quantum residues, thereby deriving explicit connections between Rayleigh-Schrödinger expansions and non-perturbative saddle fluctuations that are verified through quantum-corrected quartic and Jacobi elliptic examples.
