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 resolves the long-standing open problem of establishing a non-perturbative P/NP relation for arbitrary-genus quantum potentials by utilizing complex algebraic geometry and exact WKB methods to overcome the symplectic group mismatch in higher genera, thereby deriving an all-orders quantum P/NP relation explicitly for genus-2 and genus-3 anharmonic oscillators.
This paper investigates the BRST quantization of Carroll-Weyl gauged null strings in the Poincaré patch of , demonstrating that the radial-adapted constraint algebra forms a extension which yields a critical dimension of in the canonical highest-weight representation, a result distinct from minimal flat Carroll-Weyl theories due to the absence of extra anomaly channels from a dilation constraint.
This paper investigates pre-geometric black hole configurations with spherical symmetry by deriving exact vacuum solutions that serve as non-singular analogues to the (anti-)de Sitter-Schwarzschild metric, including cases with a Planckian de Sitter core, while also analyzing the pre-geometric version of Birkhoff's theorem.
This paper investigates how the finite size of dark matter particles affects p-wave Sommerfeld resonances, finding that while such size suppresses the resonance strength compared to point-like scenarios, the p-wave contribution can still dominate over the s-wave and maintain similar velocity dependence, with nugget dark matter behaving more like the point-like case.
This paper establishes an exact identity linking equal-mass -loop sunset Feynman integrals to genus-zero one-point descendant invariants of local Calabi–Yau -folds, while also proving the global univalence of the principal mirror map and characterizing the associated evaluation divisors and constants.
This paper demonstrates that in planar, four-dimensional maximally supersymmetric gauge theory, the known six-point constraints on four-point amplitudes are both necessary and sufficient to uniquely determine massless tree amplitudes at arbitrary multiplicity, provided the leading four-point contact coefficient is positive and higher-point interactions respect the theory's symmetries and factorization properties.
This paper establishes that the equal-mass three- and four-loop sunset Feynman integrals in two dimensions are explicitly determined by the genus-zero Gromov–Witten theory of local Calabi–Yau fourfolds and fivefolds, specifically relating the integrals to the one-point potential and its gravitational descendants rather than a prepotential.
This paper computes the energy-energy correlator in SYM for a state created by a heavy canonical operator at large charge, revealing a hierarchy of physical regimes that includes a distinct large-charge jet phase characterized by a power-law behavior.
This paper investigates the one-loop dilatation operator in the $su(2)$ sector of super Yang-Mills theory at finite by establishing that its characteristic polynomial on the state space divides the large- limit, demonstrating an eigenspace factorisation into infinite towers generated by eigenstates, and proposing a direct permutation framework for the spectral problem based on an intersection with derangements.
This paper derives a general, model-independent formula for the Von Neumann entanglement entropy of a single particle species in a scattering process, expressing it in terms of total cross sections and differential distributions while demonstrating that higher-order Rényi and Tsallis entropies at leading order depend only on total probabilities.
