I was looking at an article where the author finds an example of a solotone effect in a heat transfer context of a 1D layered composite rod rather than the usual metal rod made out of one material (s …

There is some work which generalises the usual Wilson loop in QFT to higher dimensions and constructs non-abelian Wilson surface functionals in the context of non-abelian gerbes. It seems to me that t …

In a 1974 paper on supergauge transformations in four dimensions, Wess and Zumino considered an extended supergauge group which contains the conformal group as a subgroup. An interesting thing about …

In a 2014 article by Chapman, Hoyos and Oz, the authors study non-equilibrium fluid dynamics and describe a method for deriving Kubo formulas for thermal transport coefficients of superfluids (the met …

In a 2017 article More on supersymmetric and 2d analogs of the SYK model by Murugan, Stanford and Witten, the authors take a model called the SYK model (named after Sachdev, Ye and Kitaev) and study s …

Some recent work by Aganagic on knot categorification, Knot Categorification from Mirror Symmetry, Part II: Lagrangians, discusses two categorical approaches to categorification of quantum link invari …

I was reading a physics paper where it was mentioned that the basic framework of Connes' differential non-commutative geometry (or actually, a slight modification of Connes in that paper) would need s …

Another possibility might be Mackey's Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics (Mackey obviously being an eminent researcher in functional analysis and noncommutative geometry). A positive review …

I have recently been reading a bit about noncommutative geometry and string theory and it looked to be an open question (or at least this was open two decades ago) whether there are constructions whic …

I'm posting this here instead of Physics Stack as my question is on the precise mathematical meaning of a word which is often used in the physics literature. In theoretical physics (especially string …

Having thought about this more and discussed it with others, the answer seems to be that there are likely no counterexamples to the Penrose inequality, even if one allows for unphysical violations. Fo …

A while ago I read the paper 'Quantum Field Theory and the Jones Polynomial' by Edward Witten. This article uses a lot of concepts from physics like BRST symmetry and the Chern-Simons action which ar …

In terms of physical motivation of $\phi^4$, if I remember rightly the references in the introduction to this paper might have some pointers. Dashen R and Neuberger H 1983 How to get an Upper Bound o …

I have noticed that in the literature on causality in general relativity one sees apparent counterexamples to the cosmic censorship hypothesis (somehow you have models for gravitational collapse which …

I notice that some of the classic results and theorems in black hole physics from the 1960s like the Hawking area theorem use the cosmic censorship hypothesis at some point in the proofs of the theore …
