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 investigates topologically charged Morris-Thorne-type traversable wormholes supported by anisotropic fluids through seven distinct shape functions, demonstrating that while the energy density remains positive, the null, weak, strong, and dominant energy conditions are only partially satisfied or violated depending on the specific configuration and topological charge.
This paper constructs -extensions of special functions and nested sums arising in perturbative quantum field theory, deriving their differential and difference equations to address calculations involving -deformed commutation relations.
This paper investigates Krylov spread complexity along holographic renormalization-group flows, establishing that while complexity acceleration increases as the covariant central charge decreases in fixed-dimensional flows, the two quantities become co-monotonic in flows across dimensions due to the reorganization of degrees of freedom into lower-dimensional sectors.
This paper demonstrates that topological defect lines in minimal models, which are preserved under the least relevant perturbation to first order, fail to define symmetries in the massless IR theory due to a second-order obstruction linked to a supersymmetry anomaly, whereas they remain consistent symmetries in the associated massive integrable flow.
This paper demonstrates that the BRST quantization of null strings with extended Carroll-Weyl gauge symmetry leads to an anomaly-free theory only under mutually incompatible dimension constraints (), proving that no single target-space dimension allows for a consistent highest-weight representation of the full three-constraint system, unlike the standard result obtained from the truncated BMS subsector.
Using a field-theoretic approach, this paper demonstrates that compact binaries radiate angular momentum such that each emitted graviton carries approximately while scalar and dark photon quanta carry approximately , a result that holds for both elliptical and hyperbolic orbits and can be determined from orbital evolution despite the impossibility of a gauge-invariant decomposition into spin and orbital components.
This paper proposes that universal signatures of quantum chaos, such as spectral ramps, plateaus, and wormholes, emerge as macroscopic smooth structures within microscopic data via a smooth filter projection rather than through ensemble averaging, thereby establishing a dual connection between a minimal Gutzwiller-like structure in holographic systems and hyper-non-perturbative gravitational objects like wormhole condensates.
This paper proposes a novel field-theory-inspired method using a weak associativity condition and a binary-tree prescription to compute -point tree-level open string amplitudes without world-sheet moduli integration, yielding a multi-parametric series representation that facilitates mass-level truncation and numerical implementation.
This paper introduces a non-commutative Laplace transform that converts path functionals into tensor series, enabling the derivation of a non-commutative spectral form for quantum path signatures and their subsequent expansion via topological recursion into a hierarchy of integral equations.
This paper presents a method for solving the Discretized Light-Cone Quantization Hamiltonian in 2D theory by incorporating perturbative zero-mode corrections, which significantly accelerates numerical convergence and reduces computational costs to achieve a precise critical coupling of using a much smaller basis space.
