Radiative Corrections as the Origin of Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking [PDF]
We investigate the possibility that radiative corrections may produce spontaneous symmetry breakdown in theories for which the semiclassical (tree) approximation does not indicate such breakdown.

The low-lying spectra of atomic nuclei display diverse behaviors, for example rotational bands, which can be described phenomenologically by simple symmetry groups such as spatial SU(3). This leads to the idea of dynamical symmetry, where the Hamiltonian commutes with the Casimir operator(s) of a group, and is block-diagonal in subspaces defined by the

Symmetry impedes symmetry discrimination
Objects in the world, natural and artificial alike, are often bilaterally symmetric. The visual system is likely to take advantage of this regularity to encode shapes for efficient object recognition. The nature of encoding a symmetric shape, and of encoding any departure from it, is therefore an important matter in visual perception. We addressed this

We introduce the notion of a topological symmetry as a quantum mechanical symmetry involving a certain topological invariant. We obtain the underlying algebraic structure of the ℤ2-graded uniform topological symmetries of types (1, 1) and (2, 1). This leads to a novel derivation of the algebras of supersymmetry and p = 2 parasupersymmetry.

Topological insulators with inversion symmetry [PDF]
Topological insulators are materials with a bulk excitation gap generated by the spin-orbit interaction that are different from conventional insulators. This distinction is characterized by ${Z}_{2}$ topological invariants, which characterize the ground ...

We introduce the notion of a ghost characteristic for nonlocal differential equations. Ghosts are essential for maintaining the validity of the Jacobi identity for the charateristics of nonlocal vector fields.

Exact Solutions and Conservation Laws of the Drinfel’d-Sokolov-Wilson System
We study the Drinfel'd-Sokolov-Wilson system, which was introduced as a model of water waves. Firstly we obtain exact solutions of this system using the (G′/G)-expansion method.

PT-symmetry broken by point-group symmetry [PDF]
We discuss a PT-symmetric Hamiltonian with complex eigenvalues. It is based on the dimensionless Schr\"{o}dinger equation for a particle in a square box with the PT-symmetric potential $V(x,y)=iaxy$.

Exact solutions of equal-width equation and its conservation laws
In this work we investigate the equal-width equation, which is used for simulation of (1-D) wave propagation in non-linear medium with dispersion process.
