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 while Casimir energy can stabilize Ricci-flat internal manifolds to produce anti-de Sitter geometries with parametric scale separation in eleven-dimensional supergravity, these vacua are ultimately compromised by both perturbative and non-perturbative instabilities.
This paper proposes a family of complex matrix models to compute protected correlation functions in SYM, establishing a direct link between eigenvalue densities and LLM geometries to successfully match supergravity results for light and giant probes while reducing specific huge operator correlators to known random matrix problems.
This paper resolves discrepancies in the literature regarding ultraviolet divergences in cosmological correlators by demonstrating that various renormalization schemes yield consistent, unitary results and establishing a practical framework where the imaginary part of one-loop wavefunction coefficients is universally fixed by the logarithmic running of the real part.
This paper introduces minimal two-body Hamiltonians with random interactions that exhibit "quadratic quantum chaos" in hard-core boson systems, demonstrating their spectral and dynamical properties—such as operator growth and convergence to Haar-randomness—closely parallel the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model while offering a resource-efficient platform for studying quantum chaos on near-term quantum devices.
This paper introduces Kerr generating functions within a heavy particle effective theory framework to linearize propagators and exponentiate numerators, enabling the derivation of compact all-loop scattering results for probes on Kerr black holes and providing a full four-loop calculation of leading non-linear tidal effects for neutron stars.
This paper introduces subdimensional entanglement entropy (SEE) as a novel probe that characterizes geometric-topological responses in various quantum phases and establishes a holographic correspondence where bulk pure-state entanglement encodes mixed-state symmetries and topological orders on subdimensional manifolds.
This paper introduces diverse new quantum bit thread prescriptions that are equivalent to the quantum extremal surface formula for static states, explores their behavior in the presence of entanglement islands and baby universes, and proposes novel entanglement measures called entanglement distribution functions organized within a convex polytope known as the entropohedron.
This paper presents a hybrid computational framework that combines recurrence relations with dispersive techniques to efficiently evaluate complex two-loop electroweak contributions by reducing multi-point Passarino-Veltman functions to a two-point basis, thereby minimizing dispersive integrals and accelerating precision calculations for collider experiments.
This paper generalizes the Hyperbolic Fracton Model to generic tessellations, revealing that while the resulting subsystem symmetries and fracton mobility exhibit a far richer and geometry-dependent complexity compared to flat lattices, the model's core holographic features, including subregion duality and area-law entropy scaling, remain robustly valid.
This paper extends the cosmological bootstrap program to scale-breaking scenarios by deriving integro-differential boundary equations with memory kernels for heavy fields with time-dependent masses, enabling analytical and numerical solutions that reveal exponentially enhanced primordial features in the squeezed bispectrum.
