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.

Classical Capacity of Single-Mode Bosonic Gaussian Channels

This paper proves that for all single-mode bosonic Gaussian channels, the classical capacity is achieved by independently prepared Gaussian states with Gaussian-distributed displacements, thereby confirming the additivity of the energy-constrained Holevo information and characterizing the precise asymptotic trade-off between communication rate and decoding error.

The derived category of a generalized complex torus

This paper constructs a derived category D(J)D(J) for translation invariant generalized complex structures on tori via non-commutative curved deformations of the Dolbeault algebra, demonstrating its independence from deformation paths, invariance under O(2n,2n;Z)O(2n,2n;\mathbb{Z}) actions (including trivial T-duality), and consistency with the homological mirror symmetry conjecture.

A Coupled Fluid Naghdi Shell Windkessel Model for Pulmonary Artery Banding: Partitioned Numerical Scheme and Parameter Estimation

This paper presents a coupled fluid-structure interaction model combining Navier-Stokes equations, a low-regularity Naghdi shell, and a Windkessel boundary condition to simulate pulmonary artery banding, featuring a non-iterative partitioned numerical scheme and parameter estimation via an unscented Kalman filter to analyze hemodynamic effects of localized constrictions.

Difference between pair creation and anomaly matching: Nontrivial aspects of invertible symmetries and defects in SU(N)SU(N) models

This paper investigates the relationship between SU(N)KSU(N)_K and SU(N)K′SU(N)_{K'} Wess-Zumino-Witten models by demonstrating that while anomaly matching imposes a weak condition on their levels, the stricter pairing condition derived from simple currents is necessary to ensure the consistent preservation of ZN\mathbb{Z}_N symmetries and defects, revealing a fundamental distinction between these two constraints in the context of invertible symmetries.
