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 conjectures an exact formula for three-point functions of -leg and diagonal fields in two-dimensional critical non-intersecting loop models, which is supported by agreement with Conformal Loop Ensemble results and numerical transfer matrix computations on cylindrical lattices, with minor discrepancies attributed to degenerate ground states in the Jones-Temperley-Lieb algebra.
This paper analyzes constraints on axion-photon coupling from global 21-cm signal observations and identifies viable parameter regions where parametric resonance can simultaneously satisfy observational limits and support the formation of primordial magnetic fields and direct collapse black holes.
This paper presents a manifestly Lorentz invariant reformulation of top-quark condensation for the Higgs boson, utilizing an extended internal wave-function and a gauge-invariant absence of "relative time" to establish a novel, nontrivial vacuum structure analogous to a relativistic BCS condensate.
This paper constructs holographic tensor network models based on partial-entanglement-entropy (PEE) thread tessellations of AdS space, demonstrating that assigning quantum states to network vertices reproduces the exact Ryu-Takayanagi formula by equating minimal surface cuts with geometric area.
This paper presents a first-principles, non-perturbative study of quantum entanglement among partons in a strongly coupled scalar Yukawa theory using light-front Hamiltonian methods, revealing that while entanglement in the quenched limit relates to classical Shannon entropy, the unquenched framework exhibits genuine non-classical correlations that encode quantum information beyond classical probabilities.
This paper proposes a general algebraic formula based on ring homomorphisms and the Verlinde formula to classify anyon transformations across domain walls, thereby unifying the description of topological phase transitions, massless renormalization group flows, and symmetry-enriched topological orders within the framework of Symmetry Topological Field Theories (SymTFTs).
This paper constructs a purely geometrical, metric-like formulation of the non-relativistic limit of bosonic supergravity based on a torsionless connection with non-vanishing non-metricities, which enables a manifestly covariant decomposition of relativistic curvature tensors and establishes an equivalence with string Newton–Cartan geometry while facilitating applications such as deriving -corrections and extending to general geometries.
Using light-front holographic QCD, this paper demonstrates that the nucleon's gravitational form factor is significantly suppressed at finite momentum transfer due to a fundamental cancellation arising from an antisymmetric factor in the longitudinal dynamics, which serves as a signature of the nucleon's dominant S-wave character.
This paper proposes a systematic framework using maximum-entropy reweighting and precision moments of energy flow polynomials to upgrade parton-shower event samples with higher-accuracy theoretical constraints, thereby restoring physical behavior and improving predictions across a broad range of observables while preserving full event-level exclusivity.
This paper refines theoretical predictions for light-by-light scattering by improving two-loop helicity amplitudes with asymptotic expansions and Coulomb resummation, providing state-of-the-art Standard Model cross-section calculations and a new Monte Carlo event generator named LbLatNLO.
