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 challenges the conventional view that gravity and inflation always ensure a classical universe by demonstrating that non-linear dynamics beyond slow roll can preserve non-classical features in cosmic structure, proposing Wigner function-based phase-space analysis as a method to detect these potential quantum signatures.
This paper presents an exact quantum solution for rotating Weyl fermions in a finite cylinder, revealing that the bulk chiral vortical effect is a magnetization current while uncovering a new, temperature-independent boundary-induced vortical pumping mechanism that transports axial charge via chiral modes dependent on the number of Weyl nodes.
This paper introduces a bootstrap framework that utilizes the cross spectral form factor and spectral correlations to systematically reconstruct the full representation theory and identify hidden finite group symmetries in quantum many-body systems, including their character tables and fusion rules, without prior knowledge of the symmetry group.
This paper presents an AI-assisted review of recent computational advances in stabilizing four-dimensional Minkowski vacua within the interior of moduli space for specific type IIB string compactifications, highlighting how higher-order flux superpotential terms and exact worldsheet descriptions provide critical data for testing string landscape and swampland conjectures.
This paper presents an analytical computation of angular phase-space integrals with three and four denominators using dimensional regularisation and the Mellin-Barnes representation, expressing the results in terms of Goncharov polylogarithms and deriving recursion relations to facilitate the solution of full phase-space integrals.
This paper derives a positive-signature Pomeron amplitude with specific scaling properties that successfully describes the dip-bump region of $pp$ elastic scattering differential cross-sections at LHC energies through an analytic continuation of -channel partial waves featuring poles at fractional values on the real axis.
This paper investigates the worldsheet symmetry and quantum consistency of tensionless bosonic branes by introducing a novel algebra and BRST quantization, ultimately deriving critical spacetime dimensions such as for and for by requiring the vanishing of quantum anomalies.
This paper provides a rigorous construction of the functional integral for Abelian Chern-Simons theory with a toral gauge group on both closed and boundary-equipped 3-manifolds using exact zeta-regularized Gaussian evaluation, thereby establishing it as a valid -dimensional Topological Quantum Field Theory.
This paper investigates the symmetry structure of D staggered fermions, demonstrating that a specific one-link mass term preserving Onsager algebra symmetries generates a domain wall hosting massless Dirac fermions whose flavor symmetry and parity anomaly descend directly from the ultraviolet lattice Hamiltonian.
This paper employs the Schwinger-Keldysh formalism to construct a symmetry-constrained effective field theory for s-wave superconducting phase transitions that reproduces Ginzburg-Landau equations, describes overdamped Higgs and absorbed phase modes near the critical point, and validates its structure and coefficients using holographic techniques to reveal complex relaxation dynamics characteristic of strongly coupled systems.
