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 demonstrates that spacetime curvature in and black hole backgrounds induces an effective magnetic field and chiral chemical potential for Dirac fermions, driving asymmetric real-time transport and entanglement dynamics confined within inhomogeneous Lieb-Robinson cones that are diagnostic of curvature and horizon effects.
This paper demonstrates that the holographic entanglement entropy of massive Chern-Simons fields in , calculated via the Faulkner-Lewkowycz-Maldacena formula with vanishing edge mode contributions, precisely matches the single-interval entanglement entropy of the dual primary operator and its descendants in large-charge CFTs, thereby resolving a discrepancy with earlier massless limit calculations.
This paper introduces a novel method using permutation defects between ground-state replicas to extract chiral topological properties, such as the chiral central charge and Hall conductance, directly from bulk wavefunctions, thereby bridging the gap between bulk entanglement measures and boundary anomalies for both numerical and quantum device applications.
This paper establishes that stationary stars in a broad class of diffeomorphism-invariant metric theories, including those with higher curvature corrections, are necessarily axisymmetric, demonstrating that this symmetry is a universal property of generally covariant gravitational theories rather than a feature unique to general relativity.
This paper investigates a cosmological inflation model combining the Einstein-Hilbert action, Higgs potential, and a Gauss-Bonnet term with dilaton-like coupling, demonstrating through numerical analysis that the resulting inflationary observables align well with recent ACT DR6 data, whereas the model without the Gauss-Bonnet term reverts to chaotic inflation predictions.
This paper derives a dispersion integral representation of the Heisenberg-Euler QED effective lagrangian using Faddeev's quantum dilogarithm as a generalized Borel kernel, expressing its nonperturbative imaginary part via the quantum dilogarithm and its real part through a duality manifestation involving both the quantum dilogarithm and its modular dual.
This paper constructs a novel family of exact five-dimensional rotating Lifshitz black holes supported by electric and axionic charges, verifies their thermodynamic consistency, and demonstrates how rotation and the dynamical critical exponent influence holographic superconductivity in the dual system.
This paper presents a perturbative analytical model of gravitational waves in a Bianchi IV universe using the proper-time method, deriving analytical solutions for the metric components and proving the stability of both the perturbative and exact wave solutions.
This paper presents a Palatini Supergravity model of induced-gravity Higgs inflation that is consistent with ACT DR6 data, successfully generates the parameter and non-thermal leptogenesis within a B-L MSSM extension, and predicts a split SUSY scenario with a PeV-scale gravitino mass compatible with LHC Higgs mass constraints.
This paper proposes a unified resolution to the factorization, information, and closed universe problems in semiclassical gravity by introducing a modified holographic dictionary that enables the construction of an extended gravitational path integral capable of satisfying the Page curve and incorporating baby universe states.
