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.

Beyond Integrability Preserving Renormalization-Group Protocol in Non-Hermitian Hamiltonians with Time-Dependent Interaction Strengths

This paper extends the integrability-preserving renormalization-group (RG) protocol to non-Hermitian quantum systems with time-dependent interactions, demonstrating that the set of such integrable models is broader than the standard RG trajectories because it also includes specific time-dependent forms for RG-invariant couplings.

Moore--Read construction and explicit monodromies of Laughlin states on Riemann surfaces

This paper revisits the Moore-Read construction of ν=1/k\nu=1/k Laughlin states on compact Riemann surfaces by deriving their conformal blocks from U(1)kU(1)_k Chern-Simons theory, computing explicit monodromies for quasi-hole transport and flux insertion, and demonstrating how these results recover classical Hall conductance values while connecting to modern algebro-geometric approaches.

Supergroup Gauged Linear Sigma Models and their Physical Mathematics

This paper constructs nonunitary 2d N=(2,2)\mathcal{N}=(2,2) gauged linear sigma models with U(1∣1)N\mathrm{U}(1|1)^N supergauge groups to establish super-Grassmannian generalizations of key mathematical correspondences, including Calabi-Yau/Landau-Ginzburg dualities, birational equivalences via flop transitions, and homological projective dualities via conifold transitions.

Near-critical Ising, sine-Gordon at the free fermion point, and bosonization

This paper establishes that the doubled correlation functions of primary fields in the near-critical two-dimensional Ising model with plus boundary conditions are equivalent to those of the sine-Gordon model at the free fermion point, thereby proving a specific instance of bosonization through the analyticity of massive holomorphic functions and a controlled iterated Mayer expansion.

Diffeological Tangent Spaces and Distributional Linearization for Lifted Euler--Reynolds Limits

This paper establishes a diffeological framework for the geometry of Euler–Reynolds subsolutions by constructing a limit space with intrinsic tangent vectors that satisfy distributional linearized equations, thereby distinguishing observable perturbations from hidden stress-gauge directions and characterizing deviatoric stress tensors through finite-mixture models.
