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 extends the "gravity from entropy" framework to Tsallis, Rényi, and Sharma-Mittal generalized entropies, deriving their common Einstein limit and identifying specific conditions—such as scalar trace curvature dependence or flatness of the entropy generator at the identity—that eliminate the Planck-scale tachyonic spin-2 ghost while yielding ghost-free theories and predicting distinct horizon entropy corrections.
This paper investigates two-point event shapes in planar super Yang--Mills theory, demonstrating that in the large charge limit they factorize into products of octagons, which are then used to analyze the shapes' dependence on the coupling constant and detector angle.
This paper presents a method for evolving collinear multihadron fragmentation functions that accounts for simultaneous invariant mass scales by separating extra-scale dependence, thereby unifying perturbative and nonperturbative treatments to better reveal intrinsic partonic structures.
This paper demonstrates that scalar gravitational perturbations of singly spinning Myers-Perry black holes in higher dimensions can be separated into ordinary differential equations despite the absence of a decoupled Teukolsky equation, enabling the computation of bar-mode and axisymmetric instability onsets in dimensions through .
This special issue compiles original research and review articles detailing the MoEDAL-MAPP experiment at the LHC, which is dedicated to searching for anomalous, (meta-)stable particles like magnetic monopoles and highly charged particles predicted by extensions of the Standard Model.
This paper introduces a phase-averaged stabilizer Rényi entropy that remains invariant under local rephasings, enabling the quantification of quantum magic in systems with unspecified transverse Pauli axes and demonstrating its application to tree-level gluon scattering amplitudes where helicity phases are undefined.
This paper presents a high-precision numerical construction of the Sasaki--Einstein metric and harmonic forms on the link using polynomial expansions and neural networks, validating the results against known analytical solutions and conjectured field theory predictions to enable the study of warped holographic backgrounds.
This paper derives a universal, closed-form expression for the dynamical Love numbers of Schwarzschild black holes to all orders in gravity for any spin and multipole, revealing that the response factorizes into horizon absorption, near-zone running, and a far-zone dressed logarithm containing a universal tower of Riemann zeta values, a result independently verified via shell effective field theory up to .
This paper constructs an infinite set of exact, gauge-invariant Dirac observables for Gowdy cosmologies that remain regular at the big bang singularity and systematically connect the full nonlinear gravitational dynamics to a simpler Carroll-type gravity theory through an anti-Newtonian expansion.
Using the EAdS reformulation of the in-in formalism, this paper analytically computes one-loop gauge-field corrections in scalar QED on dS to demonstrate how electric screening induces an anomalous dimension for the boundary current and shifts the Dirichlet photon into a dS resonance (quasinormal mode), while establishing a spectral Cutkosky rule that connects the kernel's discontinuity to on-shell two-particle cuts.
