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 establishes a complete open-channel operator formulation for the finite-cutoff JT gravity disk amplitude by combining geometric data with auxiliary problem structures to reproduce the known result, while demonstrating that the resulting bandlimited geodesic sector admits discrete representations and does not correspond to the thermal trace of a single lower-bounded self-adjoint Hamiltonian.
This paper investigates uni-vector deformations in Type IIA string theory, demonstrating how they map D0-brane backgrounds to themselves or generate bound states with dissolved D0-charge (such as F1-D0 and D2-D0), while also exploring their connection to the DLCQ formulation of M-theory.
This paper extends the study of timelike entanglement inequalities in AdS-Vaidya holography to two subregions, confirming the validity of mutual information positivity and weak monotonicity for non-overlapping intervals while demonstrating that timelike strong subadditivity is generally violated even as subadditivity and the Araki-Lieb inequality hold.
This paper presents a variational approach to Initial Boundary Value Problems that treats coordinate maps as dynamical degrees of freedom, ensuring exact conservation of space-time symmetries and Noether charges even in discrete settings, which naturally drives an automatic adaptive mesh refinement process.
This paper proposes a minimal radiative Dirac neutrino mass model stabilized by a non-invertible fusion rule from a gauging, which successfully generates one-loop neutrino masses, provides a viable bosonic dark matter candidate, and remains consistent with current lepton flavor violation and magnetic moment constraints.
This paper systematically investigates the optical, dynamical, and thermodynamic properties of electrically charged black holes in Kalb-Ramond gravity surrounded by perfect-fluid dark matter, analyzing key features such as photon spheres, shadows, ISCOs, epicyclic frequencies, and Hawking radiation to connect these signatures within a unified framework.
This paper introduces GlobalCY, a JAX-based framework demonstrating that globally defined, symmetry-aware neural Kähler potential models outperform local-input baselines on challenging Calabi–Yau geometries by significantly reducing geometric inconsistencies like negative-eigenvalue frequency and projective-invariance drift.
This paper constructs a new class of finite-energy, horizonless, and linearly stable stationary spacetimes with exactly flat spatial geometry, demonstrating that smooth differential rotation alone can generate non-trivial curvature, frame-dragging, and wave phenomena without requiring a central mass.
This paper proposes a tabletop detector model using a charged array of quantum harmonic oscillators in a cavity, where pumping with low-frequency photons enhances transition probabilities to enable the absorption or emission of single gravitons accompanied by photon exchange, thereby offering a potential method to "visualize" quantum spacetime ripples.
This paper demonstrates that spectrally isolated topological quartets in localized settings can acquire loop holonomies that generate non-local, entangling quantum gates despite preserving a local two-qubit description at each parameter point, a phenomenon undetectable by standard topological diagnostics but revealed by measuring the distance of the holonomy to the local subgroup.
