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 analytically classifies symmetry-enriched topological phases in lattice spin systems under symmetry based on the level and Lieb-Schultz-Mattis anomalies, while also computing scaling dimensions for coupled Chern-Simons-matter theories in a large-, large- limit to characterize their quantum criticality.
This paper calculates the classical scattering of two gravitating compact objects mediated by a massive scalar field up to the second post-Minkowskian order, revealing distinctive next-to-leading-order phenomena including a resonance when the scalar range matches the impact parameter and a mass-screening effect in the large-mass regime.
This paper demonstrates that the inductive bias of locality in convolutional score-matching diffusion models allows their denoising dynamics to be effectively described using Effective Field Theory, with mutual information growth between points aligning with predictions from a Brownian motion model on both toy examples and MNIST.
This paper constructs the bulk kinematical Poisson structure of general relativity on a caustic-free null segment by identifying Carroll boosts as pure gauge, fixing the Ehresmann connection, and performing a three-stage Dirac reduction to derive the explicit non-local brackets for the resulting spin-0, spin-1, and spin-2 gravitational data.
This paper initiates the study of four-point correlation functions in four-dimensional conformal field theories and AdS by developing a symplectic bi-Grassmannian framework and twistor formalism that yield remarkably simple rational expressions for various particle exchanges, including an elegant extension to supersymmetry.
This paper establishes a non-perturbative classical double copy correspondence between quartic biadjoint scalar theory, complexified Yang-Mills theory, and four-dimensional general relativity with conformally flat metrics, demonstrating that all three theories share a common scalar seed and identical nonlinear equations of motion under specific ansatz restrictions.
This paper presents a mathematically rigorous course on classical and quantum entropies, deriving them from probability theory, large deviation principles, and statistical hypothesis testing, while utilizing advanced frameworks like von Neumann algebras and modular theory to define relative and dynamical entropies for theoretical physicists.
This paper computes the one-loop effects of vector-like fermions on the Higgs-strahlung cross-section at FCC-ee, finding that while mixing-driven scenarios are already constrained by existing data, Yukawa-driven scenarios offer a promising radiative probe where significant parameter space allowed by LHC searches could produce detectable deviations at the per-mille sensitivity level.
This paper extends the correspondence between Type IIB branes and Ding-Iohara-Miki algebra representations to include branes spiraling around a compactified circle, revealing that such configurations generate new intertwiners yielding the K-theoretic vertex function for sheaves on and Shiraishi's non-stationary elliptic Ruijsenaars wavefunctions.
This paper constructs and classifies generalized Tambara-Yamagami fusion 3-categories describing (3+1)d quantum theories with self-duality defects by utilizing Brauer-Picard and Picard 4-groupoids, Witt groups, and the Drinfeld center of the Symmetry Topological Field Theory to study graded extensions of , with explicit computations provided for and cases.
