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 derives an exact occupation kernel describing coherent release from finite Krylov sectors into conformal tails with linear Lanczos coefficients, revealing how emission profiles encode serial step counts and resonance interference, and applies these findings to a thermal AdS realization where a shallow sector coupled to a conformal tail reproduces the leading complex pole.
This paper develops a gauge-invariant effective field theory for scalar glueballs based on the Yang-Mills gluon condensate, deriving a parameter-free interaction radius and form factor for the resonance that show excellent agreement with first-principles lattice Yang-Mills calculations.
This paper investigates how rotation and anisotropic scaling jointly influence the onset of condensation in holographic superconductors by comparing rotating axionic black holes in AdS and Lifshitz backgrounds, revealing that rotation suppresses the condensate while increasing the dynamical exponent enhances it within complete correlated families of solutions.
This paper proves that while electromagnetic duality acts as an order-two transformation on the anyon types of the toric code, it cannot be realized microscopically as an order-two locality-preserving Clifford operation for even (including the standard case), though such a realization is possible for odd .
This paper extends the Jacobi diagonalization method to derive compact, accurate analytical formulas for three-flavor neutrino oscillations in matter, revealing that scalar non-standard interactions can induce an energy-independent resonant "scalar MSW" effect and providing effective parameter mappings for both standard and exotic matter potentials.
This paper derives exact solutions for the curvature power spectrum and bispectrum in a two-field inflationary model with arbitrary constant mixing and unequal sound speeds, revealing how the sound-speed ratio governs distinct enhancement regimes, oscillatory behaviors, and modifications to cosmological collider signals.
This paper extends the AS² cosmological-state construction to multiple holographic CFTs by modeling their junction with random tensors, demonstrating that the resulting "booklet cosmological states" encode information in a way that allows any two boundary arms to recover a central closed universe, thereby establishing a connection to quantum error correction.
This paper proposes a supersymmetric Pati-Salam model utilizing small fundamental and bi-doublet Higgs representations, augmented by discrete symmetries and neutral singlets, which successfully addresses domain wall issues, achieves near-conformal behavior for the coupling, suppresses proton decay, and disentangles quark and lepton masses via higher-dimensional operators, thereby offering a string-theory-friendly alternative to traditional GUTs.
This paper constructs a time-like Janus solution mediated by a time-dependent dilaton field in asymptotic AdS spacetime as a toy model for holographic global quantum quenches, verifying its consistency with conformal perturbation theory through computed one-point functions and late-time entanglement entropy while also discussing its finite-temperature black hole interpretation.
This paper investigates ADE minimal string theories by numerically computing sphere and torus amplitudes to confirm the conjecture that D- and E-series models correspond to unsolvable four-matrix integrals, providing new evidence for multi-matrix structures and proposing analytic formulas for torus one-point amplitudes.
