Long-wavelength excitations of Higgs condensates

Abstract

Quite independently of the Goldstone phenomenon, recent lattice data suggest the existence of gap-less modes in the spontaneously broken phase of a λΦ4\lambda \Phi^4 theory. This result is a direct consequence of the quantum nature of the `Higgs condensate' that cannot be treated as a purely classical c-number field.
