Math is the fastest-growing field on arXiv, at 2x the expected trend
IgorCarron · x · 2026-10-25
An analysis shows mathematics is now the fastest-growing field on arXiv, reaching 2x the expected paper trend. CS papers grew 35%, but most of that comes from theoretical subfields — cs.AI and cs.LG remain in line with expectations.
