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.

Hypercomplex Yang-Mills Theory as a Bipartite Gauge Field Model

This paper proposes a non-Abelian gauge field framework based on hypercomplex ring formalism that introduces non-compact hyperbolic symmetries to double internal degrees of freedom, thereby enabling the description of bipartite gauge systems and field dissipation while utilizing a commutative ring to decouple algebraic structures and facilitate solutions to the equations of motion.

Modular invariance of characters of quasi-lisse vertex algebras

This paper generalizes Zhu's theorem on modular invariance to quasi-lisse vertex algebras by proving the holonomicity of conformal blocks over the moduli space of bundles and showing that their flat sections are spanned by trace functions, thereby establishing that the dimension of the space of conformal blocks for affine vertex algebras at admissible levels equals the number of admissible weights.

HyperPrecision: A Mathematica package for High-Precision Numerical Evaluation of Multivariate Hypergeometric Functions

This paper introduces HyperPrecision, a Mathematica package that enables high-precision numerical evaluation of multivariate hypergeometric functions and their Laurent expansions by automatically constructing Pfaffian systems, reducing them to ordinary differential equations along a contour, and solving them via the Frobenius method to overcome convergence limitations in physics and mathematics applications.

A convergence framework for Airyβ_\beta line ensemble via pole evolution

This paper establishes a convergence framework for the Airyβ_\beta line ensemble based on the pole evolution of meromorphic functions satisfying stochastic differential equations, which is then used to prove the universality of this ensemble as the edge scaling limit for various continuous-time processes including Dyson Brownian motions, Laguerre, and Jacobi processes.
