    From arxiv API manual:

    Wildcards:

    • Use ? to replace a single character or * to replace any number of characters. Can be used in any field, but not in the first character position. See Journal References tips for exceptions.

    Expressions:

    • TeX expressions can be searched, enclosed in single $ characters.

    Phrases:

    • Enclose phrases in double quotes for exact matches in title, abstract, and comments.

    Journal References:

    • If a journal reference search contains a wildcard, matches will be made using wildcard matching as expected. For example, math* will match math, maths, mathematics.
    • If a journal reference search does not contain a wildcard, only exact phrases entered will be matched. For example, math would match math or math and science but not maths or mathematics.
    • All journal reference searches that do not contain a wildcard are literal searches: a search for Physica A will match all papers with journal references containing Physica A, but a search for Physica A, 245 (1997) 181 will only return the paper with journal reference Physica A, 245 (1997) 181.
