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.

Asymptotic expansion of cavity Quasi-Normal Modes in Schwarzschild de-Sitter black hole

This paper investigates the large-overtone quasi-normal modes of a massive scalar field in a four-dimensional Schwarzschild de-Sitter black hole with a Dirichlet wall at the static sphere, deriving an asymptotic expansion that shows the modes scale linearly with the overtone number nn at leading order and providing correction terms up to order n−1n^{-1}.

Frequency sorting in graded dispersive resonator arrays via volume-interaction matrices

This paper demonstrates that graded arrays of highly dispersive subwavelength resonators can function as analytically controllable frequency sorters by utilizing volume-interaction matrices to establish a monotone mapping between resonator positions and localized resonance frequencies, while also proving the feasibility of inverse design and robustness against disorder.

A summation rule for the four-coupling beta function of four-dimensional nonplanar Euclidean scalar φ4\varphi^{4} theory under factorial coefficient bounds, and a domain on which the summed beta function is well defined

This paper constructs an explicit, optimal summation rule based on a cut Borel–Laplace transform that assigns a well-defined, real-analytic value to the divergent four-coupling beta function of four-dimensional nonplanar Euclidean scalar φ4\varphi^4 theory across the entire coupling space, achieving exponential accuracy and overcoming the limitations of classical Borel summation for series with factorial growth and natural boundaries.

Coexistence of infinite clusters for percolation and Ising model on Zd\mathbb{Z}^d

This paper establishes that for sufficiently high dimensions (d≥9d \geq 9 for percolation and d≥8d \geq 8 for the Ising model), the complement of the infinite open cluster and the ++ spins in the minus phase, respectively, stochastically dominate a supercritical site percolation, thereby proving the coexistence of infinite clusters and improving upon previous dimensional bounds.
