BCS as Foundation and Inspiration: The Transmutation of Symmetry [PDF]
, 2010 The BCS theory injected two powerful ideas into the collective consciousness of theoretical physics: pairing and spontaneous symmetry breaking. In the 50 years since the seminal work of Bardeen, Cooper, and Schrieffer, those ideas have found important ...

Spontaneous symmetry breaking in light cone quantum field theory
Physics Letters B, 1991 Abstract We reexamine light cone quantisation of scalar field theories with a spontaneously broken internal symmetry. To this end we use the Dirac-Bergmann algorithm for quantisation of constrained systems. Carefully taking into account the zero modes with light cone momentum k + = 0, we obtain secondary constraints which determine the (tree level)

Wigner localization in quantum dots from Kohn-Sham density functional theory without symmetry breaking [PDF]
Physical Review B, 2014 We address low-density two-dimensional circular quantum dots with spin-restricted Kohn-Sham density functional theory. By using an exchange-correlation functional that encodes the effects of the strongly-correlated regime (and that becomes exact in the limit of infinite correlation), we are able to reproduce characteristic phenomena such as the ...

Spontaneous symmetry breaking in tensor theories
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 In this work we study spontaneous symmetry breaking patterns in tensor models. We focus on the patterns which lead to effective matrix theories transforming in the adjoint of U(N).

Electroweak Breaking in Supersymmetric Models
, 1992 We discuss the mechanism for electroweak symmetry breaking in supersymmetric versions of the standard model. After briefly reviewing the possible sources of supersymmetry breaking, we show how the required pattern of symmetry breaking can automatically ...

Symmetric Gapped Interfaces of SPT and SET States: Systematic Constructions
Physical Review X, 2018 Symmetry-protected topological (SPT) states have boundary ’t Hooft anomalies that obstruct the effective boundary theory realized in its own dimension with UV completion and with an on-site G-symmetry.

Broken Symmetry in Density-Functional Theory: Analysis and Cure [PDF]
, 2003 We present a detailed analysis of the broken-symmetry mean-field solutions using a four-electron rectangular quantum dot as a model system. Comparisons of the density-functional theory predictions with the exact ones show that the symmetry breaking ...

Spontaneous symmetry breakings in Z2 gauge theories for doped quantum dimer and eight-vertex models [PDF]
Annals of Physics, 2005 Behavior of doped fermions in $Z_2$ gauge theories for the quantum dimer and eight-vertex models is studied. Fermions carry charge and spin degrees of freedom. In the confinement phase of the $Z_2$ gauge theories, these internal symmetries are spontaneously broken and a superconducting or Ne l state appears.

Modification entropy of Kerr–Sen-like black hole in Lorentz-breaking bumblebee gravity
Frontiers in PhysicsThe Lorentz symmetry breaking theory not only affects the space–time background but also the dynamic behavior of bosons and fermions in curved space–time.
