Spontaneous symmetry breaking of dissipative optical solitons in a two-component Kerr resonator [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2021 Dissipative solitons and their symmetry breaking is important for photonic applications. Here the authors show that dissipative solitons can undergo spontaneous symmetry breaking in a two-component nonlinear optical ring resonator, resulting in the ...

Spontaneous symmetry breaking in polar fluids [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsSpontaneous symmetry breaking and emergent polar order are each of fundamental importance to a range of scientific disciplines, as well as generating rich phase behaviour in liquid crystals (LCs). Here, we show the union of these phenomena to lead to two

The spontaneous symmetry breaking in Ta2NiSe5 is structural in nature. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2023 Significance In the quest for collective phases of matter that can lead to novel quantum properties, a long-sought example is the excitonic insulator—an exotic state where excitons spontaneously form in thermodynamic equilibrium and undergo Bose–Einstein

Spontaneous symmetry breaking on surface defects [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 Coleman’s theorem states that continuous internal symmetries cannot be spontaneously broken in two-dimensional quantum field theories (QFTs). In this work we consider surface (i.e. two-dimensional) defects in d-dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs)

Spontaneous symmetry breaking and chiral symmetry [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2000 In this introductory lecture, some basic features of the spontaneous symmetry breaking are discussed. More specifically, $ $-model, non-linear realization, and some examples of spontaneous symmetry breaking in the non-relativistic system are discussed in details. The approach here is more pedagogical than rigorous and the purpose is to get some simple

Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking in 5D Conformally Invariant Gravity [PDF]
Advances in High Energy Physics, 2016 We explore the possibility of the spontaneous symmetry breaking in 5D conformally invariant gravity, whose action consists of a scalar field nonminimally coupled to the curvature with its potential. Performing dimensional reduction via ADM decomposition,

Ultrafast imaging of spontaneous symmetry breaking in a photoionized molecular system. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2021 The Jahn-Teller effect is an essential mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking in molecular and solid state systems, and has far-reaching consequences in many fields.

A zero-mode mechanism for spontaneous symmetry breaking in a turbulent von Kármán flow [PDF]
New Journal of Physics, 2014 We suggest that the dynamical spontaneous symmetry breaking reported in a turbulent swirling flow at Re = 40 000 by Cortet et al (2010 Phys. Rev. Lett. 105 214501) can be described through a continuous one parameter family transformation (amounting to a

Nonequilibrium dynamics of spontaneous symmetry breaking into a hidden state of charge-density wave. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2021 Nonequilibrium phase transitions play a pivotal role in broad physical contexts, from condensed matter to cosmology. Tracking the formation of nonequilibrium phases in condensed matter requires a resolution of the long-range cooperativity on ultra-short ...

A holographic perspective on phonons and pseudo-phonons [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 We analyze the concomitant spontaneous breaking of translation and conformal symmetries by introducing in a CFT a complex scalar operator that acquires a spatially dependent expectation value.
