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 applies the quantum bootstrap method to non-relativistic potential models, successfully validating the approach against charmonium and bottomonium data and predicting a quasi-bound toponium state with a mass of approximately 344.3 GeV that aligns with recent ATLAS and CMS observations.
This paper establishes a Galois correspondence between specific fusion subcategories of -modules and condensable subalgebras of a condensable algebra in a modular tensor category via a generalized fusion action, while also proving a categorical Schur-Weyl duality and demonstrating that this framework recovers known results for vertex operator algebras and finite group actions.
This paper proposes a framework for realizing conformal manifolds in two-dimensional quantum systems, demonstrating how quantum fluctuations in the large- limit drive renormalization-group flows toward isolated Wilson-Fisher fixed points while linking the flow direction to increased entanglement entropy and emergent dynamical symmetries.
This paper presents an improved formula for the Wigner function and spin polarization of fermions in a decoupling relativistic fluid by introducing a new expansion method that captures geometric dependencies in the spin-shear term, naturally justifies the isothermal condition, and extends the framework to particles with arbitrary spin.
This paper investigates the global aspects of boundary conditions and dualities in 4d Maxwell theory with a boundary, demonstrating how topological interfaces generate an action on the bulk coupling and providing a unified SymTFT framework to characterize the resulting boundary symmetries and edge modes.
This paper generalizes the Connected Wedge Theorem to -to- holographic scattering scenarios by establishing a weaker necessary condition, a novel sufficient condition, and criteria for non-empty entanglement wedge intersections, thereby refining the geometric-entanglement correspondence for multi-particle interactions.
This paper establishes a gravitational equal-area law to analyze the topological transition of black hole shadows from a charge of 1 to -1 during cusp formation, revealing a critical point with a 1/2 exponent that places the system within the mean-field universality class and offers a new framework for testing fundamental physics beyond the Kerr paradigm.
This paper constructs a rigorous lattice formulation of Chern-Simons theory at even levels using Deligne-Beilinson cohomology, which naturally incorporates level quantization and self-linking numbers for framed Wilson lines while employing a small Maxwell term to regulate divergences arising from staggered symmetry.
This paper establishes the covariant phase space formulation of Weyl-transverse gravity on general boundaries, deriving its symplectic structure, Hamiltonian generators, and boundary conditions to clarify how its reduced gauge symmetry and fixed volume form modify the variational principle and first-law thermodynamics compared to General Relativity.
This paper employs a bootstrap approach to uniquely determine tree-level supergravity four-point correlators on AdSS involving one double-particle and three single-particle operators using only large- and large 't Hooft coupling consistency, thereby verifying these results against a conjectured five-point correlator limit and providing further evidence for the latter.
