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 demonstrates that the rate at which chiral fermion localisation is lost during domain wall merging in extra-dimensional braneworlds follows a universal power law determined solely by the Jackiw-Rebbi topological index, rendering the collapse of four-dimensional Yukawa couplings insensitive to the specific microscopic scalar dynamics of the walls.
This paper investigates the thermodynamic properties, Hawking-radiation sparsity, and greybody factors of a hairy Kiselev black hole surrounded by quintessential matter, revealing how exponential hair and quintessential fields respectively govern small-scale and large-scale behaviors, induce phase transitions, and cause highly intermittent radiation emission.
This paper explores universalities in the partition functions of various low-dimensional quantum gravity models by analyzing their holographic connections, parameter dependencies, spectral properties, and entanglement-related phenomena such as wormholes and defects.
This paper advances the loop expansion of the quantum Magnusian by developing an efficient diagrammatic algorithm that utilizes color and black-and-white bases to derive Murua coefficients, ultimately establishing edge contraction rules that enable the direct recursive computation of matrix elements through graph manipulations alone.
This paper employs a dynamical systems framework with a phenomenological relaxation time parameter to model black hole thermodynamic criticality, revealing universal relaxation scaling laws and critical slowing down that classify black holes into distinct universality classes based on their local bifurcation structures.
This paper investigates the renormalized fermion-gluon vertex, effective mass, and condensate for fermions propagating in an external non-Abelian plane-wave Yang-Mills field by utilizing an exact Green's function in the axial gauge, with applications discussed for strong-field QCD and non-Abelian Schwinger physics.
This paper investigates the form-factor dependence of Reggeized spin-2 Pomeron and spin-3 Odderon exchanges in high-energy elastic $pp$ and scattering, demonstrating that an exponential Odderon-proton form factor provides a superior fit to global data compared to other parametrizations and reveals a peripheral soft Odderon interaction with hadronic-scale transverse structure.
This paper investigates static, spherically symmetric spacetimes in covariant teleparallel gravity with electromagnetic sources, deriving field equations and conservation laws to establish a general reconstruction procedure that yields exact charged solutions—including black-hole-like and wormhole-like branches—which generalize Reissner–Nordström spacetimes and offer new insights into strong-field physics beyond General Relativity.
The paper introduces Linac, a high-performance, open-source, parallel implementation of Gaussian elimination over finite fields and floating-point arithmetic using CUDA, designed to accelerate the solution of linear systems for applications such as the analytic reconstruction of scattering amplitudes in quantum field theory.
This paper argues that CP is conserved in strong interactions because topological quantization arises from taking the infinite spacetime volume limit before summing over topological sectors, a reasoning the authors demonstrate is consistent with steepest-descent path integral constructions and robust against various objections regarding theta-parameters and instanton approximations.
