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 the convergent summation of effective field theory corrections to the Schwarzschild metric requires UV locality, linking graviton scattering properties to perturbative applicability, and reveals that 1-loop logarithmic form-factor corrections dominate over tree-level contributions.
This paper constructs a quantum Schwinger-Keldysh effective field theory for diffusive hydrodynamics that enforces fluctuation-dissipation relations via KMS symmetry to reveal intrinsically non-Gaussian noise, ultimately deriving quantum corrections to density-density correlation functions that generalize hydrodynamic long-time tails to all orders in .
This paper employs a neural-network-based solution to nonlinear integral equations derived from unitarity and crossing symmetry to construct a solvable family of nonperturbative 4D scattering amplitudes that exhibit rich features like particle production and Regge behavior, while demonstrating that multi-particle data can be dynamically tuned to suppress low-spin production through a phenomenon termed "Aks screening."
This paper introduces an extended massive ambitwistor string model that simultaneously describes supergravity and super-Yang-Mills on the Coulomb branch, successfully evaluating all-multiplicity tree and one-loop amplitudes with proper unitary factorization, demonstrating a vanishing cosmological constant, and providing new results for Compton scattering.
This paper employs a post-Newtonian effective field theory approach to analytically derive the reduced states of Unruh-DeWitt detectors near a tidally deformable quantum black hole, thereby characterizing the black hole's influence on entanglement harvesting, quantum discord, and Bell's nonlocality bounds while avoiding the computational complexities of conventional curved spacetime methods.
This paper extends previous work on the Extended Massive Ambitwistor String by demonstrating that vacuum partition functions and the cosmological constant vanish at all orders, while providing modular invariant, unitary, and UV-finite all-multiplicity higher-loop amplitudes that establish the model as a promising N=8 supergravity theory in twistor space.
This paper constructs non-invertible topological defects in two-dimensional Non-Linear Sigma Models by generalizing T-duality-based half-space gauging to any T-dualisable model with a fixed-point-free isometry, thereby extending known results beyond free bosons and rational conformal field theories while elucidating the microscopic origin of non-invertibility and its implications for symmetry matching and global obstructions.
This paper proposes that treating time as a curled extra dimension allows the Taub-NUT metric to be dimensionally reduced to three spatial dimensions, thereby unifying gravitation and gravitomagnetism (associated with the NUT charge) in four dimensions through an analogy to Kaluza-Klein theory.
This paper systematically classifies all supersymmetry-preserving mass deformations of SYM matrix models across dimensions 3, 4, 6, and 10, identifying the polarized IKKT model as the unique deformation in D=10 and discovering two massive models in D=4 that are free of sign problems and suitable for non-perturbative numerical studies.
This paper analyzes the global symmetry structures, including group-like and non-invertible symmetries, as well as their 't Hooft anomalies and self-dualities, in two-dimensional Non-Linear Sigma Models with Wess-Zumino terms by relating these properties to the topology of the target space and the effects of discrete gauging.
