All we know about Arcanists right now is that they use symbology based on arcane geometry to shape their personal Aether into spells -- so, like Thaumaturges, they evoke internal Aether as opposed to calling on external Aether. They can also use the same symbols to call forth the magical power in gemstones and, in doing so, create their Carbuncle familiar. Their arm is the tome and quill.
What we don't know is how one becomes an Arcanist initially. I would assume, based on their class lore, that they're a more "scholarly" pursuit of magic, with a focus on mathematics, sacred geometry, and the like. However, there's not really a lot to go on right now, other than in Limsa Lominsa at the Arcanist's guild, there seems to be an emphasis among the students on properly summoning their Carbuncle.
Currently, there's nothing available about how Summoners and Scholars relate to Arcanists and how their disciplines relate, other than they all seem to involve using other entities to do your bidding.
