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 presents a unified mathematical framework using Gauss hypergeometric connection formulas to derive explicit quantization functions for radial boundary value problems, enabling the algebraic calculation of exact quasinormal residues and the identification of double-pole conditions without integral evaluation.
This paper investigates holographic Krylov complexity for various probes in AdS, demonstrating that while charged and composite pointlike probes retain universal leading growth with informative subleading corrections, genuinely extended operators exhibit qualitatively distinct intermediate behaviors that reveal a finer sensitivity to spatial structure.
Motivated by recent geometric descriptions of 0A and 0B strings in M-theory and F-theory, this paper proposes a comprehensive duality web connecting distinct quotients of these theories to various non-supersymmetric string vacua, including tachyon-free models, while providing new evidence for and resolving puzzles surrounding the Bergman-Gaberdiel and DMS dualities between these orientifolds and bosonic string compactifications.
This paper provides a unified derivation of the full bispectrum shapes for single, double, and triple exchange processes involving massive scalars in the Cosmological Collider framework and reports a null result from Planck data, while identifying a 1.5 hint of non-Gaussianity in an extended scenario featuring a scalar chemical potential that allows for on-shell production of super-Hubble mass particles.
Researchers utilized a 56-qubit trapped-ion quantum computer to digitally simulate a 2+1D lattice gauge theory, successfully observing real-time nonperturbative phenomena such as glueball-like excitations and multi-order string breaking, thereby demonstrating genuine higher-dimensional confinement dynamics.
This paper reports the first experimental observation of genuine D string dynamics on a trapped-ion quantum computer, demonstrating that a tunable plaquette term is essential for enabling dynamical gauge fields, photon-like propagation, and the spread of matter creation across a two-dimensional lattice.
This paper analyzes the fixed-angle high-energy limit of -point tree-level string amplitudes through diverse mathematical frameworks, revealing that their asymptotic structure is governed by Bernoulli numbers rather than multiple zeta values, and utilizes resurgence theory to construct transseries that unify low- and high-energy expansions while providing a new double-copy representation for closed-string amplitudes via twisted de Rham theory.
This paper constructs a manifestly superconformal Super-Grassmannian integral representation for 3D SCFT correlators that algebraically relates component functions, enabling the derivation of (A)dS boundary correlators from exchange-only contributions and confirming consistency with flat-space limits.
This paper investigates a non-relativistic realization of two-dimensional de Sitter gravity by analyzing its boundary Schwarzian-type action to compute quantum fluctuations via the Ostrogradsky formalism and constructing the corresponding bulk torsionless Newton-Cartan geometry that satisfies non-relativistic JT-like equations of motion.
This paper investigates gauged Q-balls in flat potentials, demonstrating that despite the qualitative differences between global and gauged Q-balls in such potentials, the gauged versions exhibit remarkable similarity to those in Coleman's thin-wall potentials, with the study providing analytic approximations, numerical comparisons, and an analysis of Proca Q-balls as an interpolation between global and gauged cases.
