We study an $O(N)$ scalar model under shear flow and its Nambu-Goldstone modes associated with spontaneous symmetry breaking $O(N) \to O(N-1)$. We find that the Nambu-Goldstone mode splits into an infinite number of gapless modes, which we…
We study the Nambu-Goldstone (NG) modes associated with spontaneous breaking of the continuous time-translation symmetry. To discuss a quantum time-crystal with the spontaneously-broken continuous time-translation symmetry, we introduce the…

We re-examine three-dimensional gauge theory with a Chern-Simons term in which the Lorentz invariance is spontaneously broken by dynamical generation of a magnetic field. A non-vanishing magnetic field leads, through the Nambu-Goldstone…

Gravitational wave solutions with spontaneous Lorentz symmetry breaking are studied. This breaking is triggered by a vector field, known as the bumblebee field. A brief analysis of the main consequences of this symmetry breaking on…
We solve explicitly the Goldstone modes in spontaneously symmetry breaking models with supersymmetry. We find that, when more than one fields or representations contribute to the symmetry breaking, there exist identities among the…
We revisit Bjorken's model of spontaneous breakdown of Lorentz invariance. We show that the model possesses zero mass, spin zero (scalar) Nambu-Goldstone boson, in addition to the zero mass, spin one (vector) photon.
In this paper, we investigate the quasinormal modes (QNMs) of a Lorentz-violating spacetime, factoring in a cosmological constant, within the framework of Einstein-Bumblebee gravity. Our findings reveal that the interaction of spacetime…
One kind of spontaneous (2+1)-dimensional Lorentz symmetry breaking is discussed. The symmetry breaking pattern is $SO(2,1)\rightarrow SO(1,1)$. Using the coset construction formalism, we derive the Goldstone covariant derivative and the…
In modern physics, spontaneous symmetry breaking is one of the most important and ubiquitous ideas. It is well known that the breakdown of global and continuous symmetry gives rise to gapless excitations called Nambu-Goldstone (NG) bosons.…
