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 linear axial-metric and polar-gauge perturbations of the Maldacena-Milekhin-Popov wormhole, demonstrating that fermionic backreaction induces screening masses and specific currents that stabilize the system by preventing growing modes for while yielding real, negative frequency shifts.
This paper establishes a theorem proving that thermal conductance alone cannot distinguish between topological and kinetic origins of fractional thermal transport at topological insulator–superconductor interfaces, demonstrating that the observed half-integer plateau in recent experiments arises from full equilibration of co-propagating modes rather than non-Abelian topology, and proposing that charge-sector measurements like anomalous Lorenz ratios and shot noise are required to resolve this ambiguity.
This paper investigates non-supersymmetric AdS compactifications of M-theory on a flag manifold, demonstrating that specific flux configurations can trigger M5-brane bubble nucleation to realize the "dark bubble" scenario, where our expanding universe emerges with a parametrically small cosmological constant and extra dimensions on the scale of tens of microns.
This paper extends P. Dorey's geometric construction to massless cases by deriving exact S-matrices from root-system geometry and using thermodynamic Bethe ansatz equations to demonstrate that these systems describe minimal renormalization group flows connecting to free-boson conformal field theories with compactification radius .
This paper proposes that the asymmetric collision mode of the proposed TRISTAN collider operating at ~GeV offers a unique and powerful opportunity to search for electrophilic axion-like particles and bosons in the 5.5–300 GeV mass range, potentially improving existing coupling constraints by up to four orders of magnitude.
This paper introduces a novel framework using scalar generating potentials in orthogonal Grassmannian space and projective geometry to compute three- and four-point cosmological correlators for any spin-, demonstrating that the double copy, color identities, and kinematic relations naturally emerge from the potential's geometric properties and directional derivatives.
This paper proposes a statistical sampling method for 2D SU(N) lattice gauge theory that bypasses the difficulty of mapping independent plaquettes to link variables by reformulating the problem in terms of holonomies and corner reweighting, achieving high acceptance rates and moderate effective sample sizes through a combination of normalizing flows and closed-form or trained samplers for the group commutator constraint.
This paper derives a family of exact sum rules for spin-1 target tensor structure functions based on Siegert relations, establishing a superconvergence condition that connects theoretical predictions with experimental data and offers a direct strategy for measurement at facilities like JLab and the future EIC.
This thesis investigates the high-energy and collinear behavior of gravitational scattering amplitudes by deriving next-to-multi-Regge impact factors and splitting functions from tree-level amplitudes to construct classical kernels that reproduce standard results in both the multi-Regge and soft limits.
This paper nonperturbatively constructs a gauge-invariant measure for overlap fermions on four-dimensional Euclidean lattices within a class of nonabelian chiral gauge theories, including the Standard Model, by demonstrating that comparing chiral projectors on admissible gauge fields yields an exponentially local current that satisfies the global properties required for Lüscher's reconstruction of a smooth fermion measure.
