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 provides a self-contained, geometrically grounded introduction to BMS group theory in any dimension by defining BMS transformations as conformal Carrollian isometries at null infinity, exploring their semidirect structure, and detailing their relationship to Minkowski spacetime reconstruction, Poincaré subgroups, and unitary representations without relying on traditional bulk realizations.
This paper presents a classification algorithm for Calabi-Yau complete intersections in fake weighted projective spaces up to dimension five, identifying twenty new Hodge pairs not found in toric Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces and characterizing families of maximal codimension.
This paper presents and analyzes charged traversable wormhole solutions supported by anisotropic matter fields, confirming their physical viability through flare-out conditions, tidal force evaluations, and light deflection studies, while also constructing rotating generalizations to demonstrate a concrete realization of the "charge without charge" concept.
This paper investigates how ultralight dark matter influences compact binary merger statistics through accretion and dynamical friction, demonstrating that significant deviations from baseline models occur at ambient densities exceeding GeV/cm³ and offering a pathway to constrain dark matter distributions using gravitational wave data from the GWTC-3 catalogue.
This paper establishes a general framework for quantizing light-matter theories with time-dependent constraints, demonstrating that the irrotational gauge is uniquely suited for such scenarios while showing that the Coulomb gauge is not generally irrotational and thus lacks a special status in time-dependent interactions.
This paper constructs self-dual center vortices with fractional charges from KvBLLY monopoles on with non-minimal 't Hooft flux to derive semiclassical formulas for confinement and string tensions, ultimately applying these results to evaluate Fibonacci-based twist choices for center stabilization in large- Yang-Mills theory.
This proof-of-concept study proposes that mesoscopic feedback mechanisms naturally generate infinite-range interactions in one-dimensional field theories, leading to phase transitions, spontaneous symmetry breaking, and new universality classes with significant implications for achieving room-temperature ferromagnetism in monolayer spintronics.
Using the PACIAE 4.0 model, this study proposes that the newly observed particle could be a -wave meson, an -wave tetraquark, or a hadro-strangeonium state, and distinguishes these candidates by calculating their production rates and kinematic distributions in collisions.
This paper presents a systematic small- expansion of the Liouville DOZZ three-point structure constant for light operators, deriving closed-form expressions for the perturbative coefficients as symmetric polynomials to provide a practical tool for calculating loop-level corrections in celestial holography.
This paper establishes a topological framework within Chern-Simons theory that utilizes Kac-Moody algebras and path integrals to construct Clifford operators and prepare non-stabilizer states, while linking their entanglement properties and quantum operations to modular transformations and Dehn twists on genus- surfaces.
