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 establishes a universal, gauge-invariant framework using modern on-shell amplitude techniques to analyze black hole emission and absorption processes, successfully deriving the Hawking thermal spectrum from three-point processes and characterizing vacuum-dependent quantum fluctuations in the mass shift of black holes within binary systems.
This paper presents a novel, systematic method for symbolically reducing multi-loop Feynman integrals to master integrals by leveraging generating functions to derive efficient recurrence relations that circumvent the exponential complexity of traditional integration-by-parts techniques.
This paper investigates linearly stable black hole solutions in nonlinear electrodynamics coupled with Horndeski vector-tensor theory, finding that while nonsingular black holes are inherently unstable due to Laplacian instabilities, singular black holes can satisfy stability conditions only if the Horndeski coupling is sufficiently weak, as strong coupling generally induces instabilities in the high-curvature regime.
This paper proposes a GUT-scale Higgs inflation model driven by MSSM superfields with a specific superpotential and fractional shift-symmetric Kähler potentials, demonstrating that its parameters yield inflationary observables consistent with ACT DR6 data while simultaneously addressing the MSSM -problem and enabling baryogenesis.
This paper employs dynamical systems theory to analyze axion-scalar cosmologies arising from F-theory compactifications, classifying their late-time trajectories to propose a "Dynamical Distance Conjecture" where towers of states become exponentially light along physical paths, while simultaneously providing a Hodge-theoretic classification of the underlying asymptotic potentials.
This paper investigates symmetry-resolved genuine multi-entropy in Haar random and random graph states with conserved quantities, deriving explicit thermodynamic limit formulae for the former and using numerical analyses to reveal distinctive multi-partite entanglement features in the latter compared to the Haar random case.
This paper establishes a generalized Birkhoff theorem for 2+2 direct product spacetimes in Weyl conformal gravity sourced by separated electromagnetic and Yang--Mills fields, demonstrating the existence of two commuting Killing vectors to derive general solutions and analyze their geometric and physical properties through conformal equivalence.
This paper investigates the intrinsic deformation of boundary conformal field theories by deriving an exact stress tensor relation and a boundary-localized flow without new degrees of freedom, while establishing a holographic equivalence between fixed and moving boundary descriptions in AdS/BCFT through the analysis of Type A and Type B geometric realizations.
This paper revisits and explicitly constructs the unique, complete real Lagrangian for pure supergravity in four-dimensional de Sitter spacetime, addressing previous concerns about non-unitarity by suggesting that the theory may be viable within a Euclidean quantum gravity framework.
This paper proposes a continuum field-theoretic description, the Chern-Simons-Higgs theory, for self-dual Higgs transitions in the toric code and generalizes it to a series of transitions involving various non-Abelian topological orders, with the case conjectured to be infrared-dual to the 3d Ising transition.
