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 derives the general non-holomorphic completion for the generating series of BPS indices in Type II Calabi-Yau string compactifications by evaluating the refined Witten index of multi-center supersymmetric quantum mechanics via localization, thereby confirming that the required generalized error functions arise from the spectral asymmetry of scattering states for an arbitrary number of BPS dyons.
This paper presents a systematic framework for deriving non-relativistic effective field theories from relativistic theories with generic, potentially non-analytic self-interactions, establishing an effective fluid description and extending the formalism to cosmological settings to analyze ultra-light dark matter models, boson stars, and dark matter halo cores.
This paper investigates the Lorentzian gravitational path integral for 4D Gauss-Bonnet gravity, demonstrating that complex deformation of the coupling effectively resolves degeneracies arising from anti-linear symmetries and ensures compatibility with the KSW criterion for No-boundary geometries.
This paper provides an exact analytical solution for gravitational wave propagation in ghost-free bimetric gravity during a late-time de Sitter epoch, deriving new observational bounds from GW170817 and demonstrating that massless and massive graviton components maintain coherence even when temporally resolved.
This paper classifies positive traces on the Coulomb branch algebras of specific three-dimensional and four-dimensional gauge theories, focusing on quantizations of type Kleinian singularities and algebras associated with pure and gauge theories.
This paper derives a new exact residue formula for the elliptic genera of 2d gauge theories that generalizes the Jeffery-Kirwan prescription for theories and applies it to analyze the phase structure of the Gukov-Pei-Putrov model.
The paper proposes a method to study strongly coupled Euclidean Schwarzschild black holes near the Hagedorn temperature by leveraging affine $SU(2)$ symmetry to transition to a weakly coupled regime, thereby enabling a solvable effective field theory description that geometrizes non-geometric features and connects to the non-abelian Thirring model.
This paper proposes and validates a conjecture that maps bulk loop diagrams in the gravitational Schwinger-Keldysh geometry to loop integrals within a real-time finite-temperature field theory on the black hole exterior, thereby generalizing previous tree-level results and establishing diagrammatic rules consistent with microscopic unitarity and thermality.
This paper establishes a holographic correspondence between a free scalar field in Minkowski spacetime and a scalar field on a codimension-two sphere by utilizing a Radon transform to map the bulk field to a hyperplane and expressing the resulting Mellin modes as generalized hypergeometric functions via the Lee-Pomeransky method.
This paper presents a new black hole solution in bumblebee gravity with non-commutative corrections, analyzing its horizon properties, light propagation, and shadow to derive observational constraints from Event Horizon Telescope data and Solar System experiments.
