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 reveals a simple underlying structure in the strong coupling expansion of SYM observables with a matrix Bessel kernel by reorganizing their transseries to relate exponentially suppressed corrections directly to perturbative series, thereby providing an efficient method to generate full transseries and a complete description of their resurgence structure.
This paper proposes that in curved spacetime, probability acquires a fundamentally quasilocal character where gravitational boundaries and horizons convert global conservation into a flux balance law, inducing effective non-Hermiticity for restricted observers while preserving global unitarity and yielding observable imprints in black hole ringdowns.
This paper demonstrates that , conformal supergravity admits equivariantly closed forms, enabling the computation of closed-form expressions for supersymmetric observables with higher derivative couplings without solving equations of motion, and applies this method to derive holographic on-shell actions conjectured to be valid to all orders in the perturbative expansion.
This paper establishes a combinatorial framework using graph tubings to efficiently derive and solve first-order differential equations for massive cosmological correlators in de Sitter space by expressing them as twisted integrals of rational functions.
This paper proposes a new mechanism to solve the cosmological constant problem by utilizing a global constraint derived from a lapse function in a 5-dimensional anisotropic gravitational theory, which successfully cancels radiative contributions to vacuum energy at all orders while preserving 4D Lorentz invariance.
This paper establishes a rigorous, first-principles Euclidean-time prescription for calculating quantum tunnelling rates from initial states carrying conserved Noether charges, unifying direct and steadyon approaches to explain complex saddle points and extending results to systems with both charge and non-trivial energy.
This paper proposes a minimal real-space phenomenological theory demonstrating how Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) interactions can emerge in one-dimensional systems through the resolution of localized orbitals into microscopic pieces, leading to the nucleation and growth of sparse SYK clusters characterized by graph-theoretic metrics.
This paper investigates the loss of hyperbolicity in scalar Gauss-Bonnet gravity, demonstrating that while black hole solutions can exist with arbitrarily small masses by tuning coupling functions, their physical validity is constrained by a minimum mass threshold and their observable scalar charges remain bounded, limiting deviations from general relativity.
This paper investigates how fluctuating domain walls in the three-dimensional Ising model modify bulk observables through an effective interaction with the lightest massive mode, identifying a controlled regime governed by a renormalized coupling and validating these universal predictions via Monte Carlo simulations.
This paper demonstrates that the dynamical data of mixed four-point correlators for 1/2-BPS operators in all half-maximally supersymmetric conformal field theories with eight supercharges can be encoded in simpler "reduced correlator" functions that admit a block expansion, thereby generalizing recent results from maximally supersymmetric theories to 3d, 4d, 5d, and 6d cases.
