PT-symmetric systems can have a real spectrum even when their Hamiltonian is non-hermitian, but develop a complex spectrum when the degree of non-hermiticity increases. Here we utilize random-matrix theory to show that this spontaneous…

We investigate aspects of spontaneous breakdown of symmetry for $O(N)$ symmetric linear sigma model in the background of Rindler and Anti-de Sitter spacetimes respectively. In the large $N$ limit, by computing the one-loop effective action,…
Within random matrix theory, the statistics of the eigensolutions depend fundamentally on the presence (or absence) of time reversal symmetry. Accepting the Bohigas-Giannoni-Schmit conjecture, this statement extends to quantum systems with…
The phase transition in the Vicsek model is widely believed to be associated with spontaneous symmetry breaking of the two-dimensional rotational symmetry $O (2)$. In this paper, we revisit the original Vicsek model introduced in [Phys.…
The aim of this paper is to propose a criterion of spontaneous symmetry breaking that makes reference to the properties of pure phases defined by a translationally invariant state. By avoiding any reference to the ground state, at the basis…

Spontaneous symmetry breaking is a phenomenon of an alteration of a state symmetry without a change in the system symmetry. A transition from a state with unbroken symmetry to a state with broken symmetry leads to a qualitative change in…
