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 applies the background charged bosonic free-field approach and Coulomb-gas formalism to construct Ishibashi states and derive analytical expressions for disk two-point correlation functions in rational principal quantum Drinfeld-Sokolov minimal models with boundaries, utilizing Fock space resolutions, Pochhammer contour integrals, and Lauricella's hypergeometric functions.
This paper demonstrates that the Nambu-Goto string emerging from three-dimensional gravitational junctions is holographically dual to conformal interfaces that realize tunable energy transmitters via quantum maps factorized into scattering matrices and Virasoro algebra automorphisms.
This paper establishes sharp constraints on the parameters of the Drude-Kadanoff-Martin model by deriving upper bounds on the charge density retarded Green's function, demonstrating that the model fails at microscopic scales and proving a Mott-Ioffe-Regel-type bound that forbids conventional Drude peaks in systems where the collective mean free path is significantly shorter than the lattice spacing.
This paper demonstrates that -way junctions in three-dimensional gravity correspond to coupled Nambu-Goto strings with Monge-Ampère sources, revealing that matter-like behavior and holographic wavepacket reflections can emerge from pure gravity in the tensionless limit.
This paper demonstrates that, unlike their bosonic counterparts which vanish, static fermionic tidal Love numbers are non-zero for non-extremal Reissner-Nordström black holes, highlighting a universal distinction in how black holes respond to fermionic versus bosonic tidal perturbations.
This paper presents two-loop all-plus helicity amplitudes for a self-dual Higgs boson interacting with up to four positive-helicity gluons in the heavy top-quark limit, utilizing four-dimensional unitarity cuts and finite-field tensor reduction to derive compact expressions involving polylogarithms up to weight two and rational spinor-helicity functions.
This paper constructs and analyzes smooth supersymmetric supergravity solutions that describe holographic renormalization group flows from four-dimensional superconformal field theories to confining three-dimensional theories with a mass gap, revealing that key observables universally factorize into components representing the UV fixed point and the flow dynamics.
This paper constructs type-II supergravity solutions based on -deformed coset CFTs that incorporate undeformed factors to bridge -deformations with the AdS/CFT correspondence, while revealing that reality conditions on the solutions impose constraints on the deformation parameter that can exclude both the undeformed and non-Abelian T-dual limits.
This paper investigates the coupling matrix of $SU(N)$ gauge theories with fundamental hypermultiplets, demonstrating that while independent couplings exist, a single distinguished coupling constant governs the theory's modular structure, asymptotic behavior, and instanton recursion relations in both massless and massive regimes.
This paper introduces a streamlined dimensional regularization method for evaluating in-in loop integrals with arbitrary external legs and vertices, which reveals challenges in Hamiltonian renormalization within the in-in formalism and demonstrates how finite loop corrections to the primordial bispectrum can yield distinguishable signatures from tree-level contributions.
