Patterns of Spontaneous Chiral Symmetry Breaking in Vectorlike Gauge Theories [PDF]

, 2001
It has been conjectured that spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking in strongly coupled vectorlike gauge theories falls into only three different classes, depending on the gauge group and the representations carried by the fermions.

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

Entanglement-enabled symmetry-breaking orders

SciPost Physics Core
A spontaneous symmetry-breaking order is conventionally described by a tensor-product wavefunction of some few-body clusters; some standard examples include the simplest ferromagnets and valence bond solids. We discuss a type of symmetry-breaking orders,

Asymmetric balance in symmetry breaking

Physical Review Research, 2020
Spontaneous symmetry breaking is central to our understanding of physics and explains many natural phenomena, from cosmic scales to subatomic particles.

Synchronous symmetry breaking in neurons with different neurite counts. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
As neurons develop, several immature processes (i.e., neurites) grow out of the cell body. Over time, each neuron breaks symmetry when only one of its neurites grows much longer than the rest, becoming an axon. This symmetry breaking is an important step

Time-Reversal Symmetry Breaking and Spontaneous Anomalous Hall Effect in Fermi Fluids

, 2008
We study the spontaneous non-magnetic time-reversal symmetry breaking in a two-dimensional Fermi liquid without breaking either the translation symmetry or the U(1) charge symmetry.

Current reversals in a rocking ratchet: dynamical vs symmetry-breaking mechanisms [PDF]

, 2010
Directed transport in ratchets is determined by symmetry-breaking in a system out of equilibrium. A hallmark of rocking ratchets is current reversals: an increase in the rocking force changes the direction of the current.

Andreev reflections modulated by the breaking of space-inversion symmetry in graphene-typed materials

New Journal of Physics, 2019
We theoretically perform a comprehensive analysis about the influences of the space-inversion symmetry breaking in graphene-based materials on the Andreev reflections (AR) in the normal-metal/superconductor (NS) and NSN heterojunctions.

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.
