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 develops a universal formalism for non-relativistic Floquet conformal field theories in spatial dimensions, identifying distinct hyperbolic, elliptic, and parabolic dynamical phases characterized by exponential, oscillatory, and power-law behaviors respectively, with potential applications to trapped fermions and a holographic interpretation involving ergospheres and extremal horizons.
This paper compares two distinct constructions for dynamical corrections to Wald entropy in higher-derivative gravity—the boost-symmetry-based and the covariant phase-space —clarifying their fundamental differences and developing an algorithm to derive the former from the latter, which is demonstrated using a Riemann-squared theory example.
This paper investigates hydrodynamic obstructions in non-conformal first-order phase transitions, revealing that such dynamics significantly constrain admissible bubble wall velocities and exclude certain detonation solutions, thereby potentially suppressing the gravitational-wave signals generated by these events.
This paper introduces generalized Kazakov-Migdal gauge theories on graphs via the Artin-Ihara -function, reformulating the model on cycle graphs as random partition models solvable in the large limit to reveal that the Gross-Witten-Wadia phase transition corresponds to Bose-Einstein condensation and a strong/weak coupling duality rooted in the functional equation of the -function.
This paper reviews existing protocols for spin-based quantum batteries, establishes a theoretical connection between continuous and Floquet driving for charging many-body spin chains, and surveys experimental realizations to highlight their scalability in near-term quantum technologies.
This thesis employs the Light-Front approach to classify and construct consistent local interactions for massless higher-spin fields in four dimensions by analyzing Poincaré algebra closure at quartic order, revealing infinite families of interacting theories, clarifying their connection to celestial CFT and kinematic algebras, and identifying new quasi-chiral solutions alongside the unique consistency of Yang-Mills and gravity.
This paper provides a pedagogical introduction to non-linear perturbation theory for cosmological large-scale structure, specifically developing the Effective Field Theory framework from scratch to model galaxy clustering, address the limitations of Standard Perturbation Theory, and incorporate galaxy bias and redshift-space distortions for undergraduate and beginning graduate students.
This paper demonstrates that the quotient of a 7-dimensional quasi-regular 3-Sasakian orbifold by a Reeb vector field naturally inherits an -structure with specific torsion properties, which includes nearly Kähler structures as a special case and is illustrated through various regular, quasi-regular, and orbifold examples.
This paper constructs the complete Carrollian conformal representation by identifying and incorporating a previously missing independent descendant chain generated by , thereby deriving local operators, orbit structures, and two-point correlators that reveal massive states in flat holography and determine kinematic factors up to arbitrary functions of Carrollian invariants.
This paper demonstrates that extending monomial -attractor models to include binomial potentials can resolve tensions with recent CMB and DESI data by producing larger scalar spectral indices and introducing a time-dependent equation of state during reheating, thereby challenging the validity of assuming a uniquely determined reheating equation of state based solely on the monomial power.
