Mathematical physics sits at the fascinating intersection where abstract equations meet the fundamental laws of our universe. This field uses rigorous mathematical tools to model everything from the behavior of subatomic particles to the curvature of spacetime, turning complex theories into testable predictions. It is the language through which physicists describe reality, bridging the gap between pure mathematics and physical observation.

On Gist.Science, we process every new preprint published in this category on arXiv to make these dense studies accessible to everyone. Whether you are a specialist or a curious reader, you will find both plain-language overviews and detailed technical summaries for each paper. Below are the latest mathematical physics papers from arXiv, curated to help you explore the cutting edge of theoretical science.

Geometry-Agnostic Data-Driven Discovery of Extreme Scenarios

This paper introduces a two-stage, geometry-agnostic neural framework that infers dynamical constraints directly from observational data to discover and transfer rare, high-impact coherent structures—such as solitons and instantons—across varying dimensions and geometric manifolds without requiring prior knowledge of the governing equations.

DeHNSSo-v2: A compressible, curvilinear, and efficient extension of the Delft Harmonic Navier-Stokes Solver

This paper introduces DeHNSSo-v2, a major open-source update to the Delft Harmonic Navier-Stokes Solver that extends its capabilities to compressible flows on curvilinear grids while significantly reducing computational costs through efficient assembly and factorization techniques, thereby enabling high-fidelity nonlinear stability analysis across diverse compressibility regimes and complex geometries.

Central Limit Theorem for continuous NN-particle systems in fixed- and high-temperature: single level

This paper establishes central limit theorems for polynomial linear statistics of continuous NN-particle systems in both fixed- and high-temperature regimes by deriving necessary and sufficient conditions via logarithmic Bessel generating functions and a ribbon graph topological expansion that reveals distinct contributions from genus-zero and higher-genus surfaces, respectively.

Free-field realizations of N=1\mathcal{N} = 1 supersymmetric W\mathcal{W}-algebras associated with Lie superalgebras B(n−1,n)B (n - 1 , n) and B(n,n)B (n , n)

This paper extends the recursive construction of free-field realizations to N=1\mathcal{N}=1 supersymmetric W\mathcal{W}-algebras associated with the Lie superalgebras B(n−1,n)B(n-1,n) and B(n,n)B(n,n), providing explicit realizations for specific cases including new results for SWB(1,2)\mathcal{SW}B(1,2) and SWB(2,2)\mathcal{SW}B(2,2), and utilizing these to compute central charges, conformal weights, and construct local integrals of motion.
