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 proposes extending the calibration-based stability argument, typically used for supersymmetric vacua, to non-supersymmetric AdS and AdS solutions in type II string theory, demonstrating that many such vacua remain stable against D-brane bubble decay channels.
This paper critiques a recent study (arXiv:2507.07180) by arguing that its proposed ad-hoc symmetrization of Dirac neutrino amplitudes lacks physical justification and incorrectly violates lepton number conservation within the Standard Model.
This paper establishes that the universal time evolution of holographic complexity—characterized by a slope-ramp-plateau structure with linear growth and late-time saturation—is fundamentally driven by random matrix universality and a specific pole structure in the generating functions, which are proven to be necessary and sufficient conditions for these behaviors via the residue theorem.
This paper extends the dynamical systems toolkit for multiscalar dark energy by introducing new variables that disentangle kinetic couplings, enabling a systematic stability analysis that reveals genuinely non-geodesic attractors in exponential models while correcting previous misconceptions about non-geodesic fixed points in shift-symmetric scenarios.
This paper employs a Bayesian analysis of a semi-analytic jet quenching framework coupled with hydrodynamics and pre-equilibrium energy loss to constrain early-time quenching mechanisms in large systems and predict significant jet and hadron suppression in future oxygen-oxygen collisions.
This paper demonstrates that gauging and duality transformations in one-dimensional quantum lattice models are equivalent up to constant depth quantum circuits by utilizing matrix product operators to represent global symmetries and classify duality transformations, thereby clarifying the handling of static background fields in generalized symmetry gauging.
This paper characterizes the existence of gravitational radiation at infinity in spacetimes with a cosmological constant of any sign by utilizing the properties of asymptotic super-momentum, thereby providing a reliable definition that generalizes the standard News tensor approach and yields consistent results for known exact solutions.
This paper establishes a covariant differential-form framework for defining non-closed scalar charges in four-dimensional Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity, revealing a bulk obstruction that vanishes under shift-symmetry and providing a unified geometric interpretation of spontaneous scalarization and black hole thermodynamics through the Smarr formula.
This paper investigates photon radiation induced by rescattering in a magnetized quark-gluon plasma within relativistic heavy-ion collisions, finding that the presence of a background magnetic field slightly suppresses overall photon yields and consequently reduces the electromagnetic energy loss of propagating quark jets.
This paper investigates how Hamiltonian deformations affect Krylov complexity by demonstrating that certain deformations preserve the Krylov subspace while reorganizing its basis and yielding generalized Toda equations, with applications to coherent Gibbs states, random matrices, and supersymmetric systems.
