Excellent, thanks a lot for this!

Hilbert's sixth problem and QFT description
''Maybe only the part of interacting is not axiomized'' Isn't that basically the only interesting part on the physics side? Only axiomatizing free field theory doesn't say much about whether it can be done for interacting fields.

Hilbert's sixth problem and QFT description
Do we really know at this point that QFT is ''close to an axiomatic description''? The Wikipedia entry also says that ''Dirac formulated quantum mechanics in a way that is close to an axiomatic system'', but this seems debatable.

Tips for reading arXiv papers in mathematics
The degree to which proofs are carefully checked during peer review can depend on the area.

Does the Hodge star operator determine the metric?
There is some interesting physics literature based around avoiding the problem that Hodge dualization requires a $\textit{regular}$ metric, whereas in unified theories there could be a ''pregeometric'' regime where the inverse metric does not exist or is singular. journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevD.105.125010

What phenomena are better modelled by SDE instead of ODE?
Is a stochastic modification of the SIR model widely used in applications? (just curious)

I'm not sure what you mean. Certain physical phenomena are just better modelled this way eg. if they involve Brownian motion. See for example link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00220-022-04462-2
