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

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 ...

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,

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

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.
