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 extends a proposed solution to the cosmological constant problem by introducing deformations that restore dynamics in a compact extra dimension, demonstrating that vacuum energy cancellation persists in the background while identifying specific conditions required to avoid ghost instabilities and address residual Casimir contributions.
This paper demonstrates that the stabilizer complexity of a reduced density matrix in a holographic CFT, quantified by Wigner negativity, remains constant in the absence of a bulk "Python's lunch" but becomes exponentially large when such a geometric feature exists, directly linking the difficulty of classical simulation to the area difference between outer and minimal extremal surfaces.
By treating the number of flavors as a variable and exploiting the duality between and , this paper derives non-perturbative constraints on the model's operator spectrum, revealing novel degeneracies that enable the calculation of two-loop anomalous dimensions and new non-renormalization results without additional loop computations.
This paper proposes a scotogenic model extending the Standard Model with singlet-doublet fermions and right-handed neutrinos to simultaneously explain dark matter, Dirac neutrino masses, and an inverse first-order electroweak phase transition that produces observable gravitational waves, with its parameter space testable by future collider, direct-detection, and cosmological experiments.
This paper investigates the tidal forces of the Dymnikova regular black hole, demonstrating that its de Sitter core prevents tidal divergence and singularity formation by keeping tidal forces finite and causing infalling particles to turn around before reaching the center, in contrast to the divergent behavior found in Schwarzschild black holes.
This paper argues that Type III von Neumann algebras, which describe infinite-dimensional quantum systems like those in quantum field theory, fundamentally require an infinite amount of "magic" (non-Clifford gates), implying that any quantum simulation of such systems with bounded magic cannot yield a Type III algebra.
This paper extends the modified double-copy formalism to quasitopological gravity coupled to matter by mapping spherically symmetric field equations in -dimensional curved spacetime to an auxiliary nonlinear gauge field in flat -dimensional spacetime, thereby generating Kerr--Schild solutions for various matter sources including Maxwell, nonlinear electrodynamics, and Yang--Mills fields.
This paper investigates Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory on a strip using the Symanzik framework to derive admissible boundary conditions, establish two boundary current algebras, and calculate the Casimir interaction energy, revealing a transition from long-range power-law forces in the Maxwell limit to Yukawa-suppressed interactions due to topological mass in the full theory.
This paper proposes and analyzes "waterfall-modulated" -attractor models that incorporate hybrid-inspired features like potential uplifts and premature termination of inflation to continuously tune cosmological predictions, allowing for higher scalar spectral indices () and lower tensor-to-scalar ratios () while preserving the characteristic -attractor relation.
This paper investigates novel supersymmetric solutions in matter-coupled gauged supergravity, which uplift to D4-D8-brane systems in massive type IIA theory and are holographically dual to either three-dimensional SCFTs or five-dimensional SCFTs with codimension-2 conformal defects.
