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 introduces a novel diagrammatic technique in Quantum Electrodynamics that ensures infrared finiteness for inclusive cross sections and scattering matrices directly at the diagram level, eliminating the need for the standard cancellation of infrared divergences.
This paper proposes a phenomenological model of rotating gravastars within gravity to demonstrate how modified gravity parameters alter accretion dynamics and ISCO locations, potentially producing a distinct "filled-in" central shadow in interferometric observations as a testable signature against standard black holes.
This paper proposes a novel UV-IR mechanism in quantum gravity where black holes reaching a critical temperature associated with a light tower of states undergo a phase transition that produces species-scale particles, a process shown to be distinct from and dominant over standard Hawking radiation across various black hole configurations.
Using a soft-wall holographic model, this paper investigates the spectral functions of the meson in a rotating thermal background, revealing that global rotation induces energy shifts proportional to angular momentum for parallel momentum while causing significant triplet splittings and deviations from simple shifts for perpendicular momentum.
This paper proposes a coordinate-space representation for the scalar field theory using a harmonic-oscillator basis, demonstrating that its effective band-diagonal structure enables controlled Hamiltonian truncations and significantly reduces the quantum resources required for simulation compared to standard momentum-space approaches.
This paper proposes canonical and path integral quantization methods for non-linear electrodynamics in a uniform magnetic background by linearizing the theory around the external field, and subsequently applies this framework to calculate ground state energy, analyze microcausality, derive Green functions, and compute the one-loop effective potential for the Modified Maxwell model.
This paper determines the small-oscillation period of a simple pendulum in Schwarzschild spacetime by modeling the rope as a spatial geodesic, deriving a formula expressed via the Schwarzschild lapse function that recovers the classical Newtonian result in the weak-field limit while differing from previous studies that assumed a coordinate-length constraint.
This paper presents a symmetric constructive framework for three-point higher spin conformal correlation functions to derive the quantum effective action, enabling a systematic analysis of principal singularities and anomalous local contributions.
This paper investigates the minimal composite Higgs model by translating current and projected Higgs precision measurements from the LHC and FCC-ee into constraints on the vacuum alignment angle and the singlet pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson mass, demonstrating that future experiments will significantly tighten the lower bound on the singlet mass from approximately 440 GeV to over 2 TeV.
This paper demonstrates that the quantization of Galilean electrodynamics via the Dirac bracket formalism reveals the theory to be fully constrained, thereby eliminating all physical degrees of freedom from its path integral.
