General Physics explores the fundamental laws that govern everything from the tiniest subatomic particles to the vastness of the cosmos. This field serves as the bedrock for understanding how the universe operates, covering mechanics, thermodynamics, and electromagnetism without getting bogged down in overly specialized sub-disciplines. It is where the big questions about matter, energy, and force come together to explain the physical world around us.

This paper establishes a bicategorical framework for entropy and Landauer's principle that models physical implementations as open interfaces, unifying information processing constraints, holographic bulk reconstruction, and optimal dissipation minimization through adjunctions and monadic structures.
This paper presents the proceedings of the 28th workshop in the series "What Comes Beyond the Standard Models?", which has been held annually since 1998 to foster discussions on diverse topics ranging from high energy physics and cosmology to dark matter and the nature of spatial dimensions.
This paper claims to prove the equivalence between the zero distributions of the Riemann zeta function and a specific two-dimensional Ising model with mixed ferromagnetic and random competing interactions, demonstrating that the model's partition function zeros lie on a unit circle and correspond to the nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function.
This paper investigates a generalized quantum light-matter system with time-dependent Jaynes-Cummings interactions using a fractional time approach, revealing how distinct fractional orders and various coupling modulations uniquely influence population inversion, entanglement, and the preservation or suppression of non-periodic dynamics.
This paper derives the existence of a maximal information-transfer velocity and the orthochronous inhomogeneous Lorentz group (times dilatations) as the causal group for inertial frames by starting from the fundamental principles of causality, event uniqueness, and finite communication time, without relying on prior assumptions about relativity or electromagnetism.
This paper demonstrates that a complex scalar field, governed by a novel Klein-Gordon equation derived from gauge and group theories, remains well-behaved and vanishes at Schwarzschild black hole singularities while forming exterior scalar hair and undergoing interior tachyonic condensation, a behavior distinct from that of minimally coupled fields.
This paper proposes that real Lorentzian spacetime is a submanifold of a larger manifold defined by higher division algebras with a pseudo-Kähler or pseudo-quaternion-Kähler structure, where the compatibility of symmetry group constraints generates quantum numbers resembling those of the Standard Model of particle physics.
This paper proposes a scalar-tensor gravity model coupled to Aharonov-Bohm electrodynamics that predicts a nonlinear electro-gravitational coupling in superconductors, yielding scaling relations for anomalous gravitational signals that align with experimental threshold behaviors observed in normal-superconducting junctions.
This paper investigates the mathematical foundations, phase transitions, and singularities of the (3+1)-dimensional scalar field model by establishing its Jordan-von Neumann-Wigner framework, demonstrating ergodic hypothesis violation, and deriving a direct link between its bare coupling and the 3D Ising model's coupling in the strong coupling limit to elucidate critical phenomena in quantum field theories.
This paper proposes a fractional dimensional framework for physics that utilizes fractional derivative operators to model space as a superposition between integer dimensions, thereby offering a two-channel representation of classical motion that unifies local and non-local (memory) dynamics through a "space-dimension-time" coupling.
