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 investigates a non-relativistic realization of two-dimensional de Sitter gravity by analyzing its boundary Schwarzian-type action to compute quantum fluctuations via the Ostrogradsky formalism and constructing the corresponding bulk torsionless Newton-Cartan geometry that satisfies non-relativistic JT-like equations of motion.
This paper interprets multiway gravitational junctions in AdS as interfaces between holographic conformal theories, demonstrating that their linearized scattering is governed by universal quantum maps factorizing into a tension-dependent scattering matrix and Virasoro automorphisms driven by stringy modes.
This paper introduces a Super-Grassmannian formalism for to $4$ three-dimensional superconformal field theories that makes super-conformal and -symmetry constraints manifest, successfully reproducing AdS correlators and demonstrating a direct connection to flat-space SYM scattering amplitudes through a specific CPT self-conjugate super-operator construction.
Using the fuzzy-sphere approach, large-scale exact diagonalization, and density-matrix renormalization group methods, this study demonstrates that spin- impurities coupled to the -dimensional Wilson-Fisher CFT flow to distinct stable infrared conformal fixed points for each , a phenomenon termed "fortuitous universality."
This paper investigates the Kaluza-Klein compactification of Hull's generalized Sen action for self-dual fields on generic manifolds, demonstrating that a consistent truncation requires including zero-modes from both metric-induced towers to avoid a naive doubling of massless degrees of freedom, while also identifying a natural deformation involving an additional form-field that introduces no new on-shell degrees of freedom.
This paper investigates the vacuum-induced current density of a charged scalar field in a -dimensional cosmic dispiration spacetime threaded by a magnetic flux, demonstrating that the helical geometry of the defect generates both azimuthal and axial current components that are periodic in the magnetic flux and significantly influenced by the screw dislocation parameter.
This paper formulates a fluctuating hydrodynamics with spin that is both generally covariant and pseudo-gauge invariant by extending the Gaussian covariant approach using torsion as an auxiliary field and deriving second-order gravitational Ward identities in the torsionful case.
This paper establishes the ODE/IM correspondence for the affine Lie algebra by demonstrating that the period integrals of the WKB expansion of the associated ordinary differential equation match the eigenvalues of the integrals of motion in the corresponding conformal field theory up to the sixth order.
This paper presents a systematic classification of asymmetric heterotic string orbifolds that break to the Pati--Salam group, demonstrating how asymmetric actions freeze geometric moduli and induce doublet--triplet splitting independent of moduli stabilization, while identifying 24 inequivalent classes of phenomenologically viable models with varying moduli content and exhibiting pronounced degeneracy in their vacuum energies.
This paper investigates how time-correlated thermal noise with power-law decay, modeled via a generalized Langevin equation with Caputo fractional derivatives, significantly influences heavy quark dynamics in quark-gluon plasma by analyzing momentum correlations, displacement, kinetic energy, and higher-order transverse-momentum moments.
