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 introduces "Krylov-space memory cores" as stationary, depth-resolved structures within the Krylov space of thermalizing nonintegrable systems that reveal how anomalous initial states retain structured quantum memory through compact regions characterized by residual fluctuations, Gibbs mismatch, and persistent current activity, distinguishing them from generic reference states and integrable dynamics.
This paper proposes a novel cosmological model featuring cooling QCD axion dark matter with a specific number density to realize a doubled-baryon scenario that resolves the Hubble tension between late-universe SH0ES and early-universe Planck observations.
This paper investigates the spinless stationary Schrödinger equation for an electron bound to a generalized Ellis-Bronnikov graphene wormhole-like surface, analyzing how the geometry-controlled parameter and orbital angular momentum influence the resulting geometric potential, bound states, and probability density.
This paper investigates the AdS/CFT dual of sound modes in a flowing superfluid with a bulk acoustic horizon, deriving the effective acoustic spacetime, calculating holographic observables that reveal branch-cut excitations characteristic of strongly coupled systems, and determining the conditions for emergent quantum criticality and an effective Hawking temperature.
This paper proposes configurational temperature, a diagnostic tool derived from action gradients and Hessians, as a highly sensitive method for detecting algorithmic errors and ensuring correct Boltzmann sampling in Complex Langevin simulations, thereby addressing a critical limitation of existing drift-based diagnostics.
This paper utilizes the open topological string/spectral theory correspondence to construct exact, analytic generalized eigenfunctions for a class of finite-difference Schrödinger operators arising from supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, providing a rare example of an exactly solvable spectral problem that describes both bound and resonant states across arbitrary polynomial potentials.
Using holographic methods, this study demonstrates that non-linear effects in Weyl semimetals generally accelerate the decay of long-lived current oscillations driven by 't Hooft anomalies, yet these symmetry-breaking states can still achieve arbitrarily long lifetimes at sufficiently low temperatures.
This paper proposes a sub-GeV vector dark matter model mediated by a non-Abelian magnetic dipole portal that naturally yields an inverse mass hierarchy, demonstrating that a significant parameter space consistent with thermal relic abundance and current constraints can be effectively probed by combining fixed-target experiments with direct detection and cosmological observations.
This paper unifies various temporal state formalisms by extending the Kirkwood-Dirac quasiprobability distribution to arbitrary multi-time and spatiotemporal processes, defining experimentally accessible temporal quasiprobabilities that provide a common operational foundation for characterizing quantum systems with both timelike and spacelike correlations.
This paper extends a previous application of Moonshine to flavor physics by incorporating supersymmetry and modular symmetry to calculate lepton, quark, and superpartner masses using a single input per family, while predicting specific superpartner masses such as a super electron at 847 MeV and super quarks with distinct values potentially detectable at KEK and CERN LHC.
