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 derives quantum gravity contributions to the beta functions of gauge and Yukawa couplings using the Schwinger proper-time flow equation, analyzing their dependence on unphysical parameters and evaluating their potential to generate observable low-scale predictions in the Standard Model and beyond.
This paper establishes a concrete closed string dual for any interacting Hermitian one-matrix model in the standard 't Hooft regime by identifying the worldsheet theory as a supersymmetric B-twisted Landau-Ginzburg model coupled to 2d topological gravity, thereby providing a precise dictionary that matches matrix and string correlators to all orders in the genus expansion and 't Hooft coupling.
The paper presents an efficient algorithm that circumvents the computational infeasibility of enumerating all fine, regular, star triangulations by directly generating Calabi-Yau threefolds that are inequivalent under Wall's theorem, thereby reducing the required operations by orders of magnitude.
This paper establishes that transformation formulas for multiple -hypergeometric series, specifically the Kajihara and Hallnäs–Langmann–Noumi–Rosengren transformations, correspond to wall-crossing formulas of -theoretic vortex partition functions in 3d and gauge theories, thereby providing a geometric interpretation of these Euler transformations via the wall-crossing behavior of handsaw quiver varieties.
The paper proposes a general theory for computing Renyi entropy of multiple disjoint intervals by leveraging the connection between the replica trick and swapping operations, which is validated through applications to the transverse-field Ising model that yield results consistent with conformal field theory at criticality and extendable beyond it.
This paper proves that while the standard W state cannot facilitate perfect quantum teleportation of an arbitrary qubit, a modified "W-like" state can achieve this feat under a specific measurement basis, contrasting with the known capabilities of the GHZ state.
This paper generalizes the explicit construction of orbifold states in products of minimal models to include D and E-type modular invariants, demonstrating that spectral flow twisting is consistent with nondiagonal pairings and that the resulting mirror isomorphism between dual group orbifolds is inherently built into the construction, as illustrated by the model.
This paper demonstrates that within Yang-Mills-Proca theory, three static quarks generate a finite-energy color electric field with a Y-like spatial distribution and a toroidal color magnetic field, findings that align satisfactorily with lattice QCD calculations and are derived from a Lagrangian describing a spatially varying gluon condensate.
This paper introduces and analyzes a new class of nonlocal conformal field theories called "long-range minimal models," constructed by deforming Virasoro minimal models with generalized free fields, and investigates their perturbative and nonperturbative properties, particularly highlighting the challenges at large for deformations versus the well-behaved large- limits and new Mellin amplitude techniques for deformations.
This paper utilizes chiral perturbation theory with one-loop corrections to demonstrate that pion-pion scattering, when analyzed via post-selected flavor entanglement, acts as both a generator and suppressor of quantum correlations, where isospin-channel dominance and loop effects critically shape the resulting entanglement structure and angular distribution.
