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.

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.

Curvature inequalities and rigidity for constant mean curvature and spacetime constant mean curvature surfaces

This paper establishes new curvature inequalities and rigidity results for constant mean curvature surfaces in Riemannian manifolds and spacetime constant mean curvature surfaces in Lorentzian geometry, demonstrating that these properties hold under weaker stability conditions and leading to flatness or Euclidean rigidity in the equality cases.
