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 generalizes the construction of Virasoro identity OPE blocks to higher dimensions by utilizing integrals over nested causal diamonds, providing a new derivation of single-stress tensor exchange contributions in three and four dimensions and suggesting a description via effective reparametrization modes.
This paper introduces a dual formulation for the one-dimensional long-range Ising model that becomes weakly coupled near the short-range crossover at , enabling the precise perturbative computation of conformal field theory data via both renormalization and the analytic conformal bootstrap, which yield complete agreement.
This paper investigates holographic DC conductivity in Taub-NUT- black holes using the probe D-brane approach, revealing that frame dragging caused by the Misner string significantly enhances conductivity at low temperatures while its effects are suppressed by thermal contributions at high temperatures.
This paper investigates the observational signatures of a charged Bardeen black hole surrounded by perfect fluid dark matter and a cloud of strings, demonstrating how these parameters uniquely influence horizon structures, shadow sizes, particle dynamics, and wave scattering to enable independent constraints via astrophysical measurements.
This paper investigates the physical properties of a charged Bardeen black hole immersed in perfect fluid dark matter and a string cloud, analyzing how these environmental parameters influence the horizon structure, photon shadow, particle geodesics, quasinormal modes, and greybody factors to propose methods for independently constraining the model's parameters through astrophysical observations.
This paper employs quantum dynamical Krylov complexity to demonstrate that the Hilbert space dimension of a black hole in 2+1-dimensional Anti-de Sitter space equals the exponential of its Bekenstein-Hawking entropy, derived from the late-time saturation of state spread in a chaotic system.
This paper demonstrates that the pseudospectra of a U(1) gauge field in Schwarzschild-AdS black branes, computed via a novel direct gauge-field approach, coincide with those from the conventional master scalar method, revealing that while the hydrodynamic diffusive frequency is spectrally stable, the corresponding hydrodynamic momenta exhibit enhanced instability due to a pole-collision at zero frequency.
This paper analyzes a holographic effective field theory of a charged massive spin-2 field in AdS space to derive explicit mappings between bulk couplings and boundary CFT data, ultimately verifying that the flat-space limit of the resulting momentum-space correlators reproduces the expected scattering amplitudes.
This paper demonstrates that continuous quantum measurements can be used to tailor the dynamical signatures of quantum chaos, specifically by extending the ramp in the generalized spectral form factor, with unit-efficiency monitoring revealing enhanced chaotic behavior compared to both average dynamics and unitary evolution.
By consistently applying the gravitational path integral to compute both amplitudes and normalization norms, this paper demonstrates that the Hartle-Hawking no-boundary proposal predicts probabilities of nearly or exactly one for closed universes, implying that all relevant cosmological states are effectively parallel to the Hartle-Hawking state.
