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 characterizes a rich family of everywhere regular supersymmetric vacua in gauged supergravity, derived from M-theory on with anti-periodic fermions on a spacelike circle, which holographically describe strongly coupled confining gauge theories in three dimensions.
This paper extends holographic thermal two-point function calculations to nonzero spatial separation by resolving KMS-induced ambiguities using the zero-frequency bulk wave equation, thereby providing an efficient method for computing spin-resolved double-trace thermal coefficients and demonstrating that complex bulk-cone singularities are resolved by double-trace contributions.
This paper demonstrates that applying a large boost to a hydrodynamic system alters the convergence of its long-wavelength expansion by shifting the limiting nonhydrodynamic singularity to the near-light-cone region of the rest-frame spectrum, where the rescaled convergence scale is governed by the theory's microscopic spectral structure.
This paper generalizes the construction of Lax pairs and integrability to higher dimensions by utilizing categorified Lie 2-bialgebras and 2-graded Yang-Baxter equations to establish a zero 2-curvature condition for a 3d field theory governed by a higher derived affine Kac-Moody 2-algebra.
This paper establishes that an emergent Carrollian symmetry governs the physics of phase separation in one-dimensional lattice systems, demonstrating that Carroll Conformal Field Theory provides a successful analytic and numerical framework for describing density-density correlations where standard relativistic CFT techniques fail.
This paper introduces an efficient COBRA-based pipeline for one-loop effective field theory analysis of the redshift-space galaxy bispectrum, demonstrating that it accurately matches simulation data up to and significantly tightens constraints on key cosmological parameters when combined with the power spectrum.
This paper constructs an asymptotically flat, four-dimensional dyonic black hole in doubled type-IIB theory by imposing an integral parabolic T-duality monodromy on a toroidal seed, demonstrating that non-geometric T-fold data arise from global patching rather than local fluxes while preserving the BPS index, local equations, and entropy.
This paper proposes a unified framework describing various anyon-driven quantum phases, including diverse superconducting states and itinerant ferromagnets, as competing instabilities of a Fermi surface of charge- "quarks" coupled to an Chern-Simons gauge field, thereby offering a new perspective on the recently observed superconductivity near fractional quantum anomalous Hall states in twisted MoTe bilayers.
This paper demonstrates that negative energy flux emitted by a moving mirror with non-monotonic acceleration serves as a channel for information recovery, thereby enhancing the bipartite entanglement accessible to detector modes in analog Hawking radiation.
This paper presents a formulation of quantum field theory entirely based on real numbers by replacing the imaginary unit with a specific 2x2 matrix, demonstrating that this "real" framework yields physically equivalent predictions to standard complex quantum field theory while offering a new ortho-symplectic perspective on the Standard Model and potential pathways to new physics through J-symmetry breaking.
