Spontaneous symmetry breaking in polar fluids [PDF]

Nature Communications
Spontaneous 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

Spontaneous symmetry breaking and panic escape. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Panic-induced herding in individuals often leads to social disasters, resulting in people being trapped and trampled in crowd stampedes triggered by panic.

An introduction to spontaneous symmetry breaking [PDF]

SciPost Physics Lecture Notes, 2019
Perhaps the most important aspect of symmetry in physics is the idea that a state does not need to have the same symmetries as the theory that describes it. This phenomenon is known as spontaneous symmetry breaking.

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 ...

Nonreciprocal superconducting critical currents with normal state field trainability in kagome superconductor CsV3Sb5 [PDF]

Nature Communications
Determining time-reversal symmetry (TRS) and chirality in the superconducting state and its relation to normal-state symmetry and topology are important issues in condensed matter physics.

Spontaneously broken subsystem symmetries

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022
We investigate the spontaneous breaking of subsystem symmetries directly in the context of continuum field theories by calculating the correlation function of charged operators. Our methods confirm the lack of spontaneous symmetry breaking in some of the

ON THE SYMMETRY OF THE VACUUM IN THEORIES WITH "SPONTANEOUS SYMMETRY BREAKING" [PDF]

International Journal of Modern Physics A, 2011
We review the usual account of the phenomena of spontaneous symmetry breaking, pointing out the common misunderstandings surrounding the issue, in particular within the context of quantum field theory. In fact, the common explanations one finds in this context, indicate that under certain conditions corresponding to the situation called spontaneous ...

Tunneling potentials for the tunneling action: gauge invariance

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022
We formulate a procedure to obtain a gauge-invariant tunneling rate at zero temperature using the recently developed tunneling potential approach. This procedure relies on a consistent power counting in gauge coupling and a derivative expansion.
