Spontaneous symmetry breaking and panic escape. [PDF]
PLoS ONEPanic-induced herding in individuals often leads to social disasters, resulting in people being trapped and trampled in crowd stampedes triggered by panic.

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

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 ...

Spontaneous breaking of the BRST symmetry in the ABJM theory
Physics Letters B, 2014 In this paper, we will analyze the ghost condensation in the ABJM theory. We will perform our analysis in N=1 superspace. We show that in the Delbourgo–Jarvis–Baulieu–Thierry–Mieg gauge the spontaneous breaking of BRST symmetry can occur in the ABJM ...

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.

Dilaton in scalar QFT: a no-go theorem in 4-epsilon and 3-epsilon dimensions
SciPost Physics, 2022 Spontaneous scale invariance breaking and the associated Goldstone boson, the dilaton, is investigated in renormalizable, unitary, interacting non-supersymmetric scalar field theories in $4-\varepsilon$ dimensions.
