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 employs artificial neural networks and stochastic optimization to analyze finite-temperature quantum gravity effects on cosmological parameters, demonstrating that incorporating new temperature-dependent density terms improves the fit to Planck data and suggests a non-negligible role for thermal quantum corrections in cosmological evolution.
This paper demonstrates that astrophysical environments surrounding rotating black holes break spacetime symmetries, inducing chaotic orbital dynamics and extending the lifespan of resonant islands in extreme-mass-ratio inspirals, which creates distinct imprints on gravitational-wave signals that challenge current vacuum-based modeling and parameter inference.
This paper describes and classifies five-dimensional maximal supergravities with gauge groups contained in , uncovering a new family of theories and identifying their supersymmetric anti-de Sitter vacua as dual to superconformal phases of the M5-brane field theory.
This paper investigates the connection between amplituhedra and genus zero pairs within Brown and Dupont's mixed Hodge theory framework, demonstrating that while known positive geometries yield genus zero pairs, general amplituhedra can produce strictly positive genus pairs, thereby proving that genus zero is not a necessary condition for a space to be a positive geometry.
This paper resolves the apparent conflict between Wigner's theorem and non-invertible symmetries by demonstrating that unitary fusion category symmetries preserve probabilities not through unitary operators on a fixed Hilbert space, but by acting as trace-preserving quantum channels via isometries between distinct Hilbert spaces constructed from twisted sectors.
This paper investigates thermal Bhabha scattering within non-Hermitian QED by utilizing Thermofield Dynamics to derive the thermal differential cross section and establish constraints on the axial coupling constant under unbroken PT-symmetry.
This paper proposes a loop-level generalization of the inverse KLT kernel as a planar integrand defined by a Berends-Giele-like recursion, demonstrating its structural equivalence to cubic scalar theory integrands and its ability to unify cubic scalar and non-linear sigma model scattering through kinematic -shifts on the kinematic surface.
This paper demonstrates that symbolic regression applied to numerical on-shell data can autonomously rediscover fundamental analytic structures in scattering amplitudes, including KLT, Kleiss-Kuijf, and BCJ relations, thereby establishing a data-driven strategy for uncovering hidden theoretical connections like the gravity-gauge duality without relying on prior group-theoretic knowledge.
This paper derives the scalar field configurations for rotating Q-balls in two spatial dimensions to analytically explain their quantized angular momentum and characteristic angular velocity, validating these approximations against numerical results to provide deeper insights into their properties as potential dark matter candidates.
This paper numerically investigates the displacement memory effect induced by a wave pulse in regular black hole spacetimes, revealing that the resulting net displacement depends on the regularization parameter and pulse height, and differs significantly from that observed in singular black holes.
