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.

Three self-similar solutions of Yang-Mills equations in high odd dimensions

The paper establishes that for all odd dimensions d≥11d \geq 11, spherically symmetric Yang-Mills equations in d+1d+1 dimensions possess exactly three smooth self-similar solutions (modulo reflection symmetry), two of which admit closed-form expressions, suggesting a rigid and simple landscape for blowup scenarios in high-dimensional gauge theories.

Entropy stable numerical schemes for divergence diminishing Chew, Goldberger & Low equations for plasma flows

This paper proposes and validates entropy-stable numerical schemes for the generalized Lagrange multiplier (GLM) reformulation of the Chew, Goldberger & Low (CGL) plasma equations, demonstrating that this approach significantly improves the control of magnetic field divergence compared to the standard CGL model.

The Conformal Grassmannian: A Symplectic Bi-Grassmannian for CFT4CFT_ 4 Correlators

This paper introduces a symplectic bi-Grassmannian formalism in Klein space that encodes four-dimensional conformal field theory correlators as integrals over mutually orthogonal nn-planes, offering a geometrically unified, compact, and manifestly covariant framework that reproduces known structures for scalars, fermions, and conserved currents while explicitly revealing the double copy between Yang-Mills and gravity amplitudes.
