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 analyzes the phenomenological viability of primordial micro black holes as dark matter in modified gravity scenarios, concluding that while neutron star survival provides the strongest constraints, specific parameter regions remain consistent with observations and offer testable signatures through pulsar anomalies, neutrino emissions, and merger-induced bursts.
This paper demonstrates that a dimensionless, scaled transverse-momentum spectrum exhibits universal behavior across heavy-ion collision conditions, serving as a powerful new probe that reveals collective dynamics and provides independent constraints on quark-gluon plasma properties through Bayesian analysis.
This paper develops classical and quantum descriptions of Carroll particles with nonzero energy within the framework of two-time physics, demonstrating how gauge symmetries in an extended phase space unify these systems and reveal connections to Freudenthal triple systems over Lorentzian spin factor Jordan algebras.
This paper presents a recursive perturbative solution to the Einstein equations in de Donder gauge that characterizes the gravitational metric of a stationary, localized star using an infinite set of mass and current multipoles, yielding explicit expressions up to second post-Minkowskian order that encompass the Kerr black hole solution while also describing Kerr-like stars.
This paper demonstrates that universal quartic modifications to relativistic dispersion relations emerge generically from deformation-quantized phase spaces under minimal kinematical assumptions, a result confirmed through three independent mathematical frameworks: Fedosov-Berezov quantization, spectral geometry, and topos theory.
This paper applies the Hamiltonian formalism to analyze Hawking-Page phase transitions in BTZ, Reissner-Nordström, and Kerr-Newman black holes, demonstrating that the system's Hamiltonian corresponds to its thermodynamic free energy and revealing how electric charge and rotation enable the coexistence of black hole and thermal soliton states in off-shell configurations.
This paper proposes a gauge-theoretic framework for plasticity derived from spontaneous spacetime symmetry breaking, demonstrating that defect kinematics are fundamentally determined by non-dissipative symmetry principles and conservation laws, with dissipative flow emerging as a controlled deformation of this conservative structure.
This paper proposes and evaluates three anomalous holographic hard wall models with logarithmic and power-law corrections to baryonic operator dimensions, demonstrating that these modifications significantly improve the description of light baryon spectra and yield approximately linear Regge trajectories compared to the original hard wall model.
This paper adapts cluster-algebraic methods from super Yang-Mills theory to derive candidate alphabets for 5- and 6-point QCD processes, successfully recovering known 1-loop and massless 2-loop results while predicting new letters, including nested square roots for massive 6-point kinematics.
This paper demonstrates that within generalized teleparallel gravity, a matter-bounce cosmological scenario naturally explains the current lack of observational evidence for the Kalb-Ramond field by confining its energy density to the bounce epoch, thereby favoring this model over a symmetric bounce.
