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.
At Gist.Science, we process every new preprint in this General Physics category as it arrives from arXiv, ensuring you never miss a breakthrough. For each paper, we provide both a detailed technical summary for experts and a plain-language explanation that makes complex ideas accessible to everyone. Below are the latest papers in General Physics, freshly summarized and ready for you to explore.
This paper presents a Holomorphic Unified Field Theory formulated on a product principal bundle with a single connection and Hermitian field, demonstrating that a single invariant action yields both Einstein and Yang-Mills equations alongside a compatibility condition linking the field's antisymmetric part to the gauge curvature.
This paper proposes a classical cosmological model in which electrically charged, extremely massive dark matter replaces dark energy, naturally yielding a cosmological constant comparable to the mean matter density without the need for fine-tuning.
This paper calculates the mass and angular momentum of the Kerr black hole within the Teleparallel Equivalent (TEGR) and Symmetric Teleparallel Equivalent (STEGR) of General Relativity by applying covariant Noether charge formalisms with specific "turning off" gravity gauges, successfully recovering expected values while revealing limitations in satisfying Einstein's equivalence principle for rotating solutions.
This paper presents a self-contained theoretical framework that links the vacuum structure of a dark-QCD chiral transition with symmetry to the microphysics of domain walls and the macroscopic dynamics of thermal bubble nucleation, providing a comprehensive pipeline for analyzing metastable phase decay in dark-sector cosmology.
This paper establishes a rigorous analytical framework combining -convergence, spectral perturbation theory, and variational methods to prove the stability of metastable transitions and the quantitative validity of the Eyring-Kramers formula for mean transition times in Landau-type gradient systems inspired by QCD phenomenology.
This paper proposes a generally covariant framework for quantizing spacetime microstructure by promoting local scale factors to fundamental dynamical variables within a two-tiered hierarchy, yielding discrete modal degrees of freedom that offer a potential dynamical resolution to the cosmological constant problem while recovering black hole entropy and generalized uncertainty relations.
