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 in holographic SU(2) plasmas, gravitational backreaction can completely suppress the linear magnetic instability of charged vector bosons when the coupling constant exceeds a critical value of , thereby stabilizing the normal phase against vortex condensation at all field strengths and temperatures.
This paper presents a framework for computing the nonlocal one-loop effective action in scalar and spinor QED at finite temperature and density in arbitrary even dimensions by resumming the external-momentum expansion to obtain closed-form expressions for massless form factors and polarization operators without relying on the soft-momentum approximation.
This paper establishes an algebraic framework for extended holomorphic anomaly equations to compute real Gromov-Witten invariants for the quintic threefold up to genus 5 and the bicubic up to genus 9, demonstrating that these integer-valued invariants agree with their complex counterparts modulo 2.
This paper presents the first numerical solver for an SU(2) gauge-coupled Fokker--Planck system in (1+1) dimensions, utilizing a stable operator-splitting scheme to demonstrate how non-Abelian gauge coupling fundamentally alters multistate stochastic dynamics through probability exchange and spatial delocalization, thereby establishing a general computational framework applicable to fields ranging from atmospheric science to broader multidisciplinary stochastic modeling.
This paper establishes a correspondence between the existence of smooth strictly calibrated solutions to a rank-four deformed Hermitian–Yang–Mills equation on and the stability conditions of an associated three-block quiver chain, proving that such solutions exist if and only if the defining linear maps satisfy specific invertibility and non-degeneracy criteria.
This paper employs the Schwinger-Keldysh closed-time-path formalism to derive effective actions and coupled Langevin equations for and two-scalar-field models, establishing a non-equilibrium theoretical framework essential for simulating bubble nucleation and predicting signals for electroweak baryogenesis and gravitational waves.
This paper proposes a linear response formalism that uses an eigenvalue of the Einstein tensor to systematically calculate leading-order corrections to black hole observables in modified gravity theories, thereby linking measurable deviations near the horizon to constraints on effective new physics models.
This paper investigates the ultraviolet behavior of Yang-Baxter deformed sigma models on and related maximal rank symmetric spaces, demonstrating that their fixed points are described by a non-compact WZW model coupled with free bosons and identifying the leading corrections as perturbations from screening currents.
This paper constructs and analyzes three-dimensional Chern--Simons gravity theories based on six resonant algebras, demonstrating that while three specific configurations are isomorphic to , they yield distinct gravitational realizations with unique field equations and metric sectors when maintaining the original field identification.
This paper demonstrates that global monopoles can acquire an electric charge through a CP-odd operator in the Goldstone effective theory, analogous to the Witten effect, where the charge is proportional to the winding number and determined by a mixed -term between electromagnetism and the composite Goldstone connection.
