Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking and Goldstone Theorem

, 2023
We discuss the concept of spontaneous symmetry breaking and illustrate it with a general example. We consider Wigner-Weyl and Nambu-Goldstone realisations of symmetry in the quantum theory. Next, we state Goldstone’s theorem and sketch its proof.

Time-reversal symmetry breaking in the noncentrosymmetric Zr3Ir superconductor [PDF]

, 2020
We report the discovery of Zr3Ir as a structurally different type of unconventional noncentrosymmetric superconductor (with Tc=2.3 K), here investigated mostly via muon-spin rotation/relaxation (μSR) techniques.

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 ...

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.

Spontaneous symmetry breaking from anyon condensation

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019
In a physical system undergoing a continuous quantum phase transition, spontaneous symmetry breaking occurs when certain symmetries of the Hamiltonian fail to be preserved in the ground state.

Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking and Chance [PDF]

, 2002
In this paper I explore the nature of spontaneous symmetry breaking in connection with a cluster of interrelated concepts such as Curie's symmetry principle, chance, and ...
