Strong-to-weak spontaneous breaking of 1-form symmetry and intrinsically mixed topological order [PDF]
Physical review BTopological orders in 2+1d are spontaneous symmetry-breaking (SSB) phases of 1-form symmetries in pure states. The notion of symmetry is further enriched in the context of mixed states, where a symmetry can be either ``strong"or ``weak". In this work, we

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 ...

Inflation as a spontaneous symmetry breaking of Weyl symmetry [PDF]
Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2019 In this paper we study a novel realization of inflation, based on Weyl invariant gravity with torsion. We show that requiring the classical action for the scalar field to be Weyl invariant introduces a dilaton which induces a non trivial modification of ...

The origin of a primordial genome through spontaneous symmetry breaking. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2017 The heredity of a cell is provided by a small number of non-catalytic templates—the genome. How did genomes originate? Here, we demonstrate the possibility that genome-like molecules arise from symmetry breaking between complementary strands of self ...

A model of persistent breaking of continuous symmetry
SciPost Physics, 2022 We consider a UV-complete field-theoretic model in general dimensions, including $d=2+1$, that exhibits spontaneous breaking of continuous symmetry, persisting to arbitrarily large temperatures.

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.

Inertial spontaneous symmetry breaking and quantum scale invariance [PDF]
Physical Review D, 2018 Weyl invariant theories of scalars and gravity can generate all mass scales spontaneously, initiated by a dynamical process of "inertial spontaneous symmetry breaking" that does not involve a potential.

Bottom quark and tau lepton masses in a toy $$\textrm{SU}(6)$$ SU ( 6 ) model
European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2023 We study a toy $$\textrm{SU}(6)$$ SU ( 6 ) model with the symmetry breaking pattern of the extended 331 symmetry of $$\textrm{SU}(3)_c \otimes \textrm{SU}(3)_W \otimes \textrm{U}(1)_X$$ SU ( 3 ) c ⊗ SU ( 3 ) W ⊗ U ( 1 ) X .

Effects of self- and cross-phase modulation on the spontaneous symmetry breaking of light in ring resonators [PDF]
Physical Review A, 2019 We describe spontaneous symmetry breaking in the powers of two optical modes coupled into a ring resonator, using a pair of coupled Lorentzian equations, featuring tunable self- and cross-phase modulation terms. We investigate a wide variety of nonlinear
