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 establishes that any non-quantized model of gravity consistent with Galilean invariance and Newtonian averages must introduce a quantifiable minimum level of noise, implying that observing gravity below this noise threshold would experimentally prove its ability to entangle massive objects and thus its quantization.
This paper demonstrates that topological surface states, modeled via axion electrodynamics, mediate measurable modifications to classical electromagnetic radiation from sources near an interface, resulting in azimuthal symmetry breaking for antennas and a specific intensity reduction for accelerated charges due to interference with image magnetic monopoles.
This paper presents ongoing lattice studies of two-dimensional maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, including the construction of a supersymmetry-preserving lattice action and the development of new simulation routines, to facilitate numerical tests of gauge-gravity duality and explore non-perturbative phenomena.
This paper presents a new method for explicitly constructing complete sets of fields in Calabi-Yau orbifold models by leveraging the connection to exactly solvable superconformal field theories, utilizing spectral flow twisting and the requirement of mutual locality.
This paper demonstrates that Calabi-Yau orbifolds constructed from products of N=(2,2) supersymmetric minimal models form canonical mirror pairs of isomorphic models by utilizing spectral flow constructions associated with mutually dual Berglund-Hubsh-Krawitz groups.
Motivated by conformal bootstrap principles and space-time supersymmetry, this paper presents a new method for constructing Gepner model orbifolds by utilizing spectral flow generators to define an admissible group and its mirror counterpart, thereby generating modular invariant models with mutually local physical fields.
This paper establishes a systematic framework for gauging non-invertible symmetries in two-dimensional quantum field theories by formulating the process through topological interfaces, thereby extending standard gauging properties to general fusion categories, deriving key mathematical theorems from physical axioms, and identifying new self-dualities and a generalized orbifold groupoid structure.
This paper employs a quantum field theory framework with virtual Majorana neutrinos to derive exact dressed propagators in a magnetic field, demonstrating that the resulting spin-flavor precession probability aligns with standard quantum mechanical predictions while revealing small quantum corrections.
This paper presents CoMBolt-ITA, a new (2+2)D collective model based on the relativistic Boltzmann equation in the isotropization time approximation that successfully couples pre-equilibrium dynamics with hydrodynamics to simulate quark-gluon plasma evolution, demonstrating strong consistency with standard hydrodynamic and hybrid models for small shear viscosity while revealing significant discrepancies and nontrivial thermalization effects for larger viscosity values.
This paper establishes the bounded-from-below and vacuum stability conditions for the scalar potential of the Standard Model extended by a scalar multiplet with dimension (ranging from 1 to 6), null vacuum expectation value, and arbitrary hypercharge, while also characterizing the resulting phase space geometry.
