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 proposes a clockwork mechanism to realize charged massive particles (CHAMPs) as dark matter without unnaturally small parameters, demonstrating that the model satisfies theoretical and experimental constraints while offering testable predictions for the LHC and future detection experiments.
This paper presents the first extension of the Many-Body Forces (MBF) Model to finite temperature, introducing new hyperon coupling schemes to analyze the thermodynamic properties of beta-equilibrated nuclear matter and the mass-radius relations of compact stars, thereby establishing a new framework for describing proto-neutron stars.
This paper describes families of supersymmetric probe D-brane embeddings in extremal D-brane backgrounds defined by arbitrary holomorphic functions, and explores their holographic duals as defect hypermultiplets and Gukov–Witten surface defects in the near-horizon limit of D3-branes.
This paper presents a systematic, gauge-invariant framework using worldline effective field theory and scattering amplitudes to compute gravitational Raman scattering at third post-Minkowskian order, demonstrating that while leading static Love numbers for black holes vanish, dynamical Love numbers exhibit logarithmic running that resolves previous off-shell ambiguities across various dimensions and spin fields.
This paper constructs a high-temperature effective field theory for gauge-Higgs models up to by integrating out hard modes to the three-loop level, deriving new mass and coupling parameters, and demonstrating that one-loop dimension-six effects typically dominate over higher-loop corrections in determining gravitational-wave observables for strong phase transitions.
This study presents an algorithm for the automatic structural search of tensor network states, including entanglement renormalization, which optimizes local structures based on variational energy to improve accuracy in representing non-uniform entangled states, particularly when initialized with existing design methods like the strong disordered renormalization group.
This paper employs a specific gauge-fixing and integration order to derive a novel -dimensional collective field action for a two-matrix BFSS-like model, revealing non-local features that require a mass term for time-locality while recovering the standard single-matrix limit.
This paper interprets the Schur half-indices of $SU(2)$ gauge theories with fundamental Wilson lines as transition amplitudes in a non-vacuum sector of DSSYK, represented by chord diagrams with coherent state segments, and demonstrates that the specific case with four fundamental half-hypermultiplets corresponds to the partition function of a particle on a quantum disk.
This paper demonstrates that while the traditional Kibble-Zurek mechanism breaks down for topological defect formation in crossover transitions with approximate symmetries due to exponential corrections, a generalized framework incorporating explicit symmetry breaking into the dynamical correlation length successfully predicts defect density across all quench rates.
This paper introduces analytic super covering maps between super Riemann surfaces, demonstrating their natural emergence in symmetric product orbifolds and tensionless string theory on , where they facilitate manifestly supersymmetric correlator calculations and solve spacetime supersymmetry Ward identities.
