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 formulates conformally and scale-invariant theories of gravity in dimensions, presenting an elegant framework that reveals how these higher-dimensional theories exhibit fundamentally different properties compared to their four-dimensional counterparts.
This paper utilizes the covariant phase space formalism to derive conserved charges for supergravity formulated as a constrained BF theory, demonstrating that while translational charges vanish on-shell due to super-torsion constraints, the remaining boundary charges successfully reproduce the expected superalgebra.
This paper resolves the discrepancy between continuum and lattice descriptions of Quantum Energy Teleportation in the massive Thirring (sine-Gordon) model by demonstrating that while conventional lattice protocols are restricted to charged sectors, a newly constructed neutral current protocol recovers the continuum's weak binary POVM signal and its associated energy scaling.
This paper reports the experimental demonstration of holographically motivated quantum teleportation on a quantum processor using a chaotic binary sparse SYK model, which successfully preserves the essential qualitative signatures of traversable-wormhole physics while significantly reducing circuit depth for noisy intermediate-scale quantum hardware.
This paper demonstrates that a non-minimal Yukawa-like coupling between the inflaton and the Ricci scalar acts as a timing parameter to regulate backreaction and the Schwinger effect, thereby enabling large-field inflation models to generate observable magnetic fields up to G while rendering small-field scenarios non-predictive.
This paper proposes an analytic formalism for a non-minimally coupled inflationary model involving derivative interactions between gravity and a scalar field, demonstrating that it successfully generates scalar spectral index and tensor-to-scalar ratio values consistent with ACT and Planck observations across a wide range of inflaton potentials without encountering singularities in the slow-roll regime.
Using the probe D-brane approach, this paper computes Hall transport coefficients for Taub-NUT AdS black holes and demonstrates that while the novel frame-dragging effect induced by the NUT parameter significantly influences charge transport at low temperatures and near the Misner string under small magnetic fields, these effects become negligible at finite magnetic fields, ultimately revealing the existence of finite Hall transport originating from frame-dragging.
This paper presents a brief biography of William A. Bardeen (1941–2025), an American theoretical physicist at Fermilab renowned for his foundational contributions to the chiral anomaly, quantum chromodynamics, dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking, and heavy-light quark bound states.
This paper proposes a microscopic holographic dual for generic spacetime topologies with timelike boundaries, demonstrating how nearly maximally entangled states and operator redundancies in a doubled Hilbert space reconstruct an extended cosmological spacetime beyond the cosmic horizon, thereby establishing the consistency of multiple states in quantum gravity with a positive cosmological constant.
This paper demonstrates that a single scalar function, derived from the analytically continued membrane-paradigm pressure of the Kerr-Newman black hole, serves as a unified global detector that simultaneously encodes the locations of all critical geometric surfaces—including horizons, stationary limits, singularities, and asymptotic infinity—while also admitting an interpretation as a generalized van der Waals equation of state.
