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.

Below are the latest mathematical physics papers from arXiv, curated to help you explore the cutting edge of theoretical science.
This paper demonstrates that applying a stress-free boundary condition at the bottom of the Ekman layer yields an unphysical current profile where velocity increases with depth, while showing that a no-slip condition at sufficient depth still effectively preserves the orthogonality between Ekman transport and wind stress.
This paper establishes the large deviation principle for the maximum of the generalized TAP free energy in the Ising mixed -spin model by proving that supersymmetric critical points form a spherical code, thereby identifying the supersymmetric formula with the large-deviation exponent for TAP maxima and providing a constructive path toward the Parisi formula under specific stability conditions.
This paper proposes an inflationary mechanism driven by flux stationarity near Calabi-Yau Hodge boundaries, which stabilizes moduli without extra flux costs and directly links internal geometric properties to observable primordial tensor perturbations that align with current CMB limits and future LiteBIRD and CMB-S4 targets.
This paper demonstrates that a nonlinear velocity theory for extreme type-II superconductors contains an exactly solvable one-dimensional sector yielding universal nonlinear Meissner states, soliton-like vortex sheets interpreted as coarse-grained Abrikosov vortex rows, and periodic laminar structures representing rectangular vortex lattices.
This paper demonstrates that while single Majorana modes remain localized at the ends of an XY spin chain (Kitaev chain) tuned to a disorder line, multi-particle Majorana modes penetrate the bulk without attenuation, offering a detectable bulk-edge effect in engineered optical systems.
This paper proposes a new analytical method that solves the Schrödinger equation exactly for general nonlinear potentials by deriving the wave function from classical least action principles and time rescaling, thereby offering a potential replacement for quantum perturbation theory and enabling exact solutions for previously unsolvable systems like the quartic oscillator.
This paper derives explicit solutions for time-fractional anomalous diffusion equations with space- and time-dependent diffusivity coefficients, expressing them in terms of Fox-H and generalized Wright functions to advance the understanding of anomalous diffusion across various fields.
This paper extends the Verlinde-van der Heijden quantum information retrieval protocol to charged black holes by incorporating type III von Neumann algebras, thereby deriving a thermodynamic interpretation of charge evaporation and suggesting constraints on charge quantization through the index-statistics theorem.
This paper derives exact coordinate and momentum distributions for a small composite system of a movable shell and internal particles, demonstrating that their distinct dependencies on particle number and degrees of freedom allow for the inference of internal structure while revealing a unique form of chaotic motion driven solely by internal impacts.
This paper establishes that within the linearized quantum gravity regime of AdS/CFT, the holographic map preserves relative entropy (satisfying the JLMS condition) and, through a modular crossed product construction, rigorously demonstrates that the state-dependent entropy of dual CFT states satisfies the vacuum-subtracted Hubeney-Rangamani-Takayanagi formula for localized semi-classical excitations.
