We discuss examples of (1+1)-dimensional models where the perturbative renormalization group (RG) indicates a tendency to restore the symmetry in the strong coupling limit. We show that such restoration does occur sometimes, but the…
The idea that symmetries simplify or reduce the complexity of a system has been remarkably fruitful in physics, and especially in quantum mechanics. On a mathematical level, symmetry groups single out a certain structure in the Hilbert…
The main ideas behind nuclear supersymmetry are presented, starting from the basic concepts of symmetry and the methods of group theory in physics. We propose new, more stringent experimental tests that probe the supersymmetry…
In many situations the energy levels for a quantum system whose Hamiltonian is invariant under a specific symmetry group are split when the Hamiltonian is replaced by a new one with lower symmetry. In non-rigid molecules quantum tunnelling…
Symmetries in the Physical Laws of Nature lead to observable effects. Beyond regularities and conserved magnitudes, the last decades in Particle Physics have seen the identification of symmetries, and their well defined breaking, as the…

Modern theories of phase transitions and scale-invariance are rooted in path integral formulation and renormalization group (RG). Despite the applicability of these approaches on simple systems with only pairwise interactions, they are less…
We examine nucleon-nucleon realistic interactions, based on their SU(3) decomposition to SU(3)-symmetric components. We find that many of these interaction components are negligible, which, in turn, allows us to identify a subset of…
The action of the quantum mechanical volume operator, introduced in connection with a symmetric representation of the three-body problem and recently recognized to play a fundamental role in discretized quantum gravity models, can be given…
We calculate the spin and charge dynamical susceptibilities of a strongly correlated impurity model in a renormalised perturbation theory. The irreducible for vertices for the quasiparticle scattering are deduced from the renormalised…

Quantum impurity problems can be solved using the numerical renormalization group (NRG), which involves discretizing the free conduction electron system and mapping to a `Wilson chain'. It was shown recently that Wilson chains for different…
