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 extends the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis beyond its traditional microcanonical limits by demonstrating "generic ETH" in a qutrit lattice system with conserved quasilocal charge, where thermalization signatures persist even in states far outside standard energy and charge windows.
This paper rigorously establishes the ultraviolet finiteness of topological-holomorphic field theories on and proves that quantum anomalies vanish—specifically for odd loops when and entirely when —thereby enabling the construction of a factorization algebra structure for their quantum observables.
This paper provides an overview of the de Broglie-Bohm pilot-wave formulation of quantum mechanics, with a specific focus on its applications in field theory, high-energy physics, gravitation, and cosmology.
The paper demonstrates that the standard low-energy effective field theory of quantum gravity predicts unobservably small vacuum fluctuations in interferometers, implying that any future detection of large gravitationally-induced length variations would signal a fundamental breakdown of this theory.
This paper proposes an alternative resolution to the black-hole information paradox by suggesting that trans-Planckian effects in string theory cause Hawking radiation to cease around the scrambling time, leaving the black hole predominantly classical with negligible energy loss.
This paper presents a new general solution for gravitational field equations in quantum fluctuation modified gravity that encompasses various Kiselev black hole configurations, while analyzing their energy conditions, Hawking temperatures, and constraints on metric fluctuation parameters.
This paper establishes a rigorous mathematical framework for Gaussian random variables with negative variance to prove the timelike DOZZ formula for 3-point correlation functions and derive expressions for -point functions in timelike Liouville field theory, demonstrating their convergence to correct semiclassical limits.
This paper proposes a novel low-scale leptogenesis mechanism enabled by a first-order electroweak phase transition, which keeps sphalerons active below the standard decoupling temperature to convert lepton asymmetry into baryon asymmetry even for right-handed neutrinos with masses as low as 35 GeV, offering potential detection signatures through stochastic gravitational waves and accelerator experiments.
This paper investigates normal mode analysis in relativistic massive transport by demonstrating how particle mass induces coupling between sound and heat channels, alters the branch cut structure responsible for Landau damping, and leads to non-monotonic dependencies in the critical wavenumbers for collective modes.
This paper demonstrates that the loop integrand of four-point stress-energy correlators in planar super Yang-Mills can be decomposed into a sum of products between fixed chamber forms and local integrands, revealing that leading singularities at all loop orders (including four loops with elliptic functions) are linear combinations of these forms and enabling a "diagonalized" representation where integrands evaluate to pure functions.
