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 investigates the holographic entanglement entropy of codimension-one defects and interfaces in supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, demonstrating that the entanglement C-function decreases monotonically along defect renormalization group flows triggered by mass deformations or Coulomb branch transitions, while also exploring alternative measures for effective degrees of freedom in interface scenarios.
This paper investigates a novel class of conformal defects in the critical model that preserve a mixed symmetry of transverse rotations and global symmetry, characterizing them as infrared fixed points of renormalization group flows from monodromy defects and computing their scaling dimensions and one-point functions using large- and expansions.
This paper provides a strictly classical derivation of scattering theory by comparing two formulations of Liouville's theorem—the traditional Hamilton-Jacobi in-out formalism and a recent exponential in-in formalism—demonstrating their distinct nature while establishing a concrete relationship between them through matching calculations.
This paper presents a fully analytic, backreacted solution for the nonequilibrium evaporation of Schwarzschild–de Sitter black holes in two-dimensional dilaton gravity, demonstrating that irreversible heat flow from the black hole to the cosmological horizon drives monotonic entropy growth and naturally gives rise to entanglement islands and a Page curve within the anomaly-induced steady state.
This paper constructs a non-relativistic chiral massive higher-spin gravity in deformed via Lifshitz deformation and null reduction of 4D chiral massless theory, proposing a mass-spin relation that suppresses high-spin interactions and conjecturing a holographic dual in the form of a 2D non-relativistic Landau-Ginzburg theory describing a constrained two-fluid system.
This paper employs the functional renormalization group in the Local Potential Approximation to trace critical and multicritical Lee-Yang fixed points from their upper critical dimensions down to two dimensions, successfully following the case while revealing that higher-order multicritical fixed points () annihilate with non-perturbative solutions before reaching .
This paper presents a model-independent approach using perturbative methods to derive ready-to-use formulas for studying strong supercooling in first-order phase transitions driven by radiative symmetry breaking, which produce gravitational waves and primordial black holes.
This paper investigates a planar Dirac oscillator in a uniform $SU(2)$ Yang--Mills background, demonstrating how the non-Abelian field strength induces spin--isospin mixing that leads to a doubly degenerate aligned branch and distinct singlet--triplet energy splittings with specific dependencies on the field amplitudes.
This paper proposes an unification model that dynamically generates fermion masses and solves the strong CP problem through instanton effects, while utilizing non-invertible chiral symmetry breaking and a novel discrete gauge symmetry to absolutely stabilize the proton and link continuous and discrete global symmetries in the infrared.
This paper proposes a sigma-model analogue of Hodge loci in Calabi-Yau moduli spaces, characterized by non-trivial rational Hodge endomorphisms arising from generalized symmetries and topological defects, which at special points exhibit arithmetic structures linked to Complex Multiplication that constrain boundary states, with detailed applications to elliptic curves and K3 surfaces.
