Dilatons for Dense Hadronic Matter

, 2009
The idea that the explicit breaking of scale invariance by the trace anomaly of QCD can be rephrased as a spontaneous breaking has been recently exploited to capture the low-energy strong interaction dynamics of dense (and also hot) matter in terms of ...

Non-Hermitian non-Abelian topological insulators with PT symmetry

Physical Review Research, 2021
We study a non-Hermitian non-Abelian topological insulator preserving PT symmetry, where the non-Hermitian term represents nonreciprocal hoppings. As it increases, a spontaneous PT symmetry breaking transition occurs in the perfect-flat band model from a

Linear stability analysis of chemical mechanism, Listanalchem: A tool for the search of spontaneous mirror symmetry breaking

MethodsX, 2023
Homochirality, the phenomenon by which one of two virtually identical (non-superimposable mirror images) compounds is favored over the other in the chemistry of life, has been regarded as a requisite for the emergence of all living things on earth ...

Supersymmetry Breaking, R-Symmetry Breaking and Metastable Vacua

, 2007
Models of spontaneous supersymmetry breaking generically have an R-symmetry, which is problematic for obtaining gaugino masses and avoiding light R-axions.

Mach's Principle and Model for a Broken Symmetric Theory of Gravity [PDF]

, 2002
We investigate spontaneous symmetry breaking in a conformally invariant gravitational model. In particular, we use a conformally invariant scalar tensor theory as the vacuum sector of a gravitational model to examine the idea that gravitational coupling ...

An introduction to spontaneous symmetry breaking

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.

R-symmetry and Supersymmetry Breaking at Finite Temperature [PDF]

, 2009
We analyze the spontaneous $U(1)_R$ symmetry breaking at finite temperature for the simple O'Raifeartaigh-type model introduced in [1] in connection with spontaneous supersymmetry breaking.

Spontaneous breaking of non-relativistic scale symmetry

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017
We analyze the mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking of scale invariance in Galilean invariant field theories. We show that the existence of a dynamic gapless dilaton mode depends on whether the U(1) particle number or the Galilean boost symmetry ...

Spontaneous symmetry breaking of coupled Fabry–Pérot nanocavities

Communications Physics
Ring cavities are quickly emerging as preferential platforms to investigate spontaneous symmetry breaking. However, research on handedness polarisation splitting within Kerr-coupled cavities is yet at a preliminary stage.
