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 a transformer-based machine learning framework that achieves over 99% accuracy in simplifying complex expressions involving elliptic Gamma functions by learning to apply modular transformations, thereby offering a novel automated tool for symbolic computations in quantum field and string theories.
This paper employs a real-space renormalization-group approach to demonstrate that the Berezinskii--Kosterlitz--Thouless phase in the two-dimensional XY model with long-range interactions decaying as remains stable only when , while a Wilson--Fisher-like fixed point emerges for .
This paper demonstrates that the radial sector of a Carroll-Weyl gauged null string in Poincaré AdS is locally trivial in BRST cohomology, effectively reducing the theory to a -dimensional ILST BRST complex while preserving the anomaly condition that maps the parent theory's requirement to the ILST condition of .
This paper constructs finite- unitary conformal field theories in 3+1 dimensions that exhibit spontaneous symmetry breaking and superfluidity at all temperatures, with a weakly gauged version yielding superconductivity over an exponential temperature range.
This paper provides algebraic proofs for two conjectural relations connecting quantum -periods and thermodynamic Bethe ansatz-like equations for quantum mirror curves, utilizing shifted product expansions for quadratic cases and cyclic quantum-torus traces with finite matrix determinants for higher-degree cases, all established as formal power series in the complex structure parameter with exact dependence on .
This paper establishes a charge-regular formulation for separated Kerr-Newman perturbations, deriving explicit maps from master solutions to physical radiative fields and energy fluxes that account for finite-charge effects and nonuniform zero-charge limits.
This paper investigates the singlet sector of a large- vector model on with an angular potential, demonstrating that the potential induces a Gross-Witten-Wadia phase transition characterized by a gap in the holonomy eigenvalue distribution and a double-pole singularity in the free energy, occurring at temperatures that do not necessarily scale with .
This paper establishes a geometric interpretation of electromagnetic memory and large gauge transformations by demonstrating that the asymptotic shear of charged-particle congruences near null infinity provides an equivalent encoding of these phenomena through the optical data of both massless and massive particles.
This paper constructs a four-dimensional supersymmetric gauge theory with gauge group that flows to a rank-one SCFT in the infrared, enabling the computation of its full superconformal index and providing a pathway to derive the previously inaccessible index of a frozen rank-one SCFT through further gauging.
This paper proposes a recursive scheme that determines the inevitable boundary terms in BCFW on-shell recursion relations for nonlinear sigma model amplitudes by leveraging hidden zeros, mass dimensions, and the 2-split property to construct higher-point terms from lower-point amplitudes.
