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 introduces deterministic unitary protocols that approximate imaginary-time evolution for ground-state preparation using multi-copy registers and controlled-SWAP operations, analyzing trade-offs between circuit depth and width in tree versus "hedge" architectures while demonstrating the potential of mid-circuit post-selection and platform-specific implementations.
This paper utilizes the Euclidean Gravity approach to demonstrate that spatially varying near-horizon temperature fluctuations in a Schwarzschild Black Hole are intrinsically linked to near-horizon supertranslations, allowing the derivation of temperature-dependent corrections to the free energy and a microscopic partition function that describe low-energy horizon physics as a sum over these supertranslations.
This paper establishes a systematic framework using stochastic path-integral formalism to quantify time irreversibility and entropy production in non-Hermitian Model A field theories, demonstrating that the local entropy production rate is determined by the anti-Hermitian component of the dynamics and localizes at interfaces in non-uniform states.
This paper extends the study of booklet wormholes as the holographic dual of the GHZ state by demonstrating that their symmetry necessitates special bulk Killing vectors and unprecedented quantum non-local junction conditions, while also proposing a mechanism to render them traversable through boundary deformations that distribute information via entanglement.
This paper demonstrates that autoparallel curves associated with torsion-free, non-metric-compatible affine connections can be derived from a variational principle by explicitly constructing an action functional through the systematic solution of the inverse problem of the calculus of variations and the associated Helmholtz conditions.
This paper investigates the quantum stability of a timelike topological wormhole by computing the one-loop backreaction of a massive scalar field, finding that depending on finite counterterms, quantum effects can either stabilize or destabilize the structure while preserving its traversability.
This paper presents the first systematic study of early-to-late cosmic evolution in gravity, demonstrating that a well-motivated model constrained by Big-Bang Nucleosynthesis bounds and supernova data successfully reproduces the observed late-time acceleration with quintessence-like behavior while remaining consistent with early-time physics.
This paper derives a universal large- expression for torus knot invariants in lens spaces by relating them to invariants in , revealing a quiver partition function structure that allows for the direct identification of the underlying quiver associated with these knots.
This paper proposes a novel formulation of four-dimensional gravity derived from a topological field theory with global symmetry that becomes local, utilizing Weyl spinor-valued 1-forms to encode frame-field data and offering a framework particularly well-suited for discretization and quantization.
This paper proposes a quantum mechanical model of black hole decay via fuzzy sphere tunneling mediated by monopole zero modes, demonstrating that this unitary process reproduces the semi-classical Hawking radiation rate and Boltzmann distribution while offering a framework to determine the full wave function of the emitted quanta.
