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 constructs rotating thin shell solutions in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity by gluing two spacetimes with different mass and angular momentum parameters, deriving their equations of motion and analyzing the stability and collapse dynamics of both general and vacuum shells, including cases that lead to naked singularities.
This paper investigates the thermodynamics of five-dimensional Chern-Simons AdS black holes coupled to SU(2) solitons using a minisuperspace approximation, demonstrating that the entropy receives nontrivial contributions from axial and trace-torsion modes while satisfying the first law of black hole thermodynamics.
This paper utilizes holographic methods to systematically analyze strong-coupling defect renormalization group flows in ABJM theory, mapping worldsheet fluctuations to dual operators and establishing a coherent picture where the 1/2 BPS Wilson loop is IR stable, the 1/6 BPS loop acts as a saddle point, and non-supersymmetric configurations serve as UV fixed points.
This paper calculates the response of an Unruh--DeWitt detector in a superposition of BTZ black hole locations, demonstrating how Quantum Reference Frame transformations reveal nonclassical measurement contributions and distinguishing this scenario from mass-superposed black holes through spectral singularities.
This paper presents a simple, universal method based on integrable KdV flows and the Gel'fand-Dikii equation to derive closed-form formulae for correlators and Weil-Petersson volumes across a broad class of physical and mathematical models, including new results for supersymmetric cases up to genus 4.
This paper utilizes light-ray operators and explicit loop calculations to reveal that the universal anomalous scaling of linear power corrections in energy correlators arises from the necessity of combining dijet operators with specific triple-jet components, thereby establishing a first-principles link between operator theory and collider phenomenology.
This paper develops a next-to-leading order effective field theory for large-scale structure in a CDM universe by treating the matter fluid's velocity potential as a single scalar "pion" field, validating the approach through consistency relations and N-body simulations to extract EFT coefficients and propose new variables for analyzing cosmic structure.
This paper proposes a unified cosmological paradigm that explains Dark Matter as Primordial Black Holes and Dark Energy through non-equilibrium thermodynamics (General Relativistic Entropic Acceleration), offering a solution to recent observational anomalies without invoking new particles or degrees of freedom.
This paper demonstrates that holographic QCD can be exactly matched to perturbative QCD at a fixed scale by deriving a factorized Compton amplitude where the universal ultraviolet photon vertex reproduces the Wilson coefficients of the singlet conformal operator product expansion, thereby extending vacuum current-correlator matching to the off-forward hadronic current-current correlator relevant for DDVCS/DVCS.
This paper demonstrates that in the collinear regime, holographic double deeply virtual Compton scattering (DDVCS) amplitudes derived from Witten diagrams structurally match the -basis Wilson coefficients of perturbative QCD at a fixed scale, with the open and closed string channels corresponding to the and eigenchannels respectively, governed by a universal hypergeometric hard kernel and distinct branch-point structures.
