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.

Hybrid coupling with numerics-informed neural networks and the overlapping Schwarz alternating method

This paper presents a hybrid modeling framework that couples pre-trained, subdomain-local numerics-informed neural networks (NINNs) with classical full-order models using the overlapping Schwarz alternating method to solve advection-dominated advection-diffusion problems, demonstrating that both top-down and bottom-up training approaches yield accurate results comparable to full-order solutions.

Two-Parameter Family of Nonlinear Dirac Equations With Scalar-Scalar plus Vector-Vector Interactions

This paper derives exact solitary wave solutions for a two-parameter family of nonlinear Dirac equations in 1+1 dimensions with scalar-scalar and vector-vector interactions, analyzing their profile transitions, energy-to-charge ratios, and stability properties while also obtaining their non-relativistic reduction to a modified nonlinear Schrödinger equation.

Contact canonoid maps and their conserved and dissipated quantities

This paper investigates conserved and dissipated quantities arising from contact canonoid maps and their extensions to singular smooth maps by constructing polynomial first integrals and smooth invariant endomorphisms that yield up to nn functionally independent trace invariants in a (2n+1)(2n+1)-dimensional space, illustrated through various physical examples involving friction and damping.
