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 thesis investigates the perturbative dynamics and observational signatures of compact objects within quadratic gravity and asymptotic safety, revealing unique instabilities and horizonless mimics in Einstein-Weyl gravity while demonstrating how quantum corrections in asymptotically safe gravity lead to regular black holes with modified evaporation rates that could impact dark matter models.
This paper establishes a complete formulation of maximal Cartan-gauged seven-dimensional supergravity and derives the full set of timelike supersymmetric geometries, revealing distinct structural behaviors based on flux activation and providing a systematic classification and toolbox for constructing BPS solutions and exploring holographic applications.
This paper establishes a topological field theory dual to a family of Narain code CFTs constructed from lattices, demonstrating that their seven inequivalent theories arise as distinct topological boundary conditions of a single abelian Chern-Simons theory and analyzing their interrelations via gauging and Siegel-Weil identities.
This paper systematically investigates Yukawa textures in magnetized and orbifold models, revealing that nearest-neighbor and diagonal patterns are statistically favored in the former while the latter yields unique textures via nontrivial selection rules that transcend standard group-theoretical symmetries.
This paper establishes a topological and combinatorial interpretation of the inverse KLT kernel for -point AdS string-amplitude building blocks by constructing an intersection matrix from regularized twisted cycles within the framework of twisted de Rham theory, thereby linking sphere and disk integrals through local monodromies and Drinfeld associators.
This paper demonstrates that effective field theory corrections to quasinormal mode frequencies break down and become amplified near exceptional points where modes coalesce, a phenomenon explicitly verified through corrections to equal-spin Myers-Perry-AdS black holes.
This paper presents the first calculation of the threshold corrections to the inclusive -boson production cross-section by deriving complete quark form factors and constructing the soft-virtual cross-section, thereby significantly improving theoretical precision and reducing uncertainties for future collider programs.
These lecture notes from the 2025 UMass Amherst Summer School explore the deep connections between algebraic structures in twisted supersymmetric quantum field theories and mathematical intersection-theoretic invariants derived from moduli spaces on four-manifolds.
This paper presents a large-scale statistical analysis of over 30 million Type IIB flux vacua on a specific Calabi-Yau hypersurface, utilizing gradient-based optimization and machine learning techniques to characterize vacuum distributions and successfully predict supersymmetric solutions and moduli values.
This paper investigates the exponential rolling tachyon solution within Wilsonian effective field theory, demonstrating that while its pressure initially aligns with the bare theory, the late-time evolution is instead governed by a distinct oscillatory solution, suggesting that standard rolling tachyon models may fail to capture the true late-time physics of open string field theory.
