We show that an ultra-cold atomic cloud bouncing on an oscillating mirror can reveal spontaneous breaking of a discrete time translation symmetry. In many-body simulations we illustrate the process of the symmetry breaking that can be…
The pressure-driven inertial collapse of a cylindrical void in an inviscid liquid is an integrable, Hamiltonian system that forms a finite-time singularity as the radius of the void collapses to zero. Here it is shown that when the natural…
A non-unitary version of quantum scattering is studied via an exactly solvable toy model. The model is merely asymptotically local since the smooth path of the coordinate is admitted complex in the non-asymptotic domain. At any real…
Nonlinear symmetry breaking may occur in systems with two or more states whose linear dynamics displays certain symmetries, one of which is preferred nonlinearly. We have identified a regime of electron temperature gradient (ETG)…
We analyze the symmetry breaking of matter-wave solitons in a pair of cigar-shaped traps coupled by tunneling of atoms. The model is based on a system of linearly coupled nonpolynomial Schr\"odinger equations (NPSEs). Unlike the well-known…
We investigate the collapse of an axisymmetric cavity or bubble inside a fluid of small viscosity, like water. Any effects of the gas inside the cavity as well as of the fluid viscosity are neglected. Using a slender-body description, we…
We numerically study the symmetry breaking instabilities of vortex patterns in a rotating harmonic potential using a type of Ginzburg-Landau equation. The configurations of vortex lattices change markedly by the symmetry-breaking…

We demonstrate that field theories involving explicit breaking of continous symmetries, incorporate two generic classes of topological defects each of which is stable for a particular range of parameters. The first class includes defects of…
We consider the self-evolution of strongly non-equilibrium interacting Bose gas. Due to the mere fact of large (as compared to unity) occupation numbers in the initial state the problem is directly reduced to the question of temporal…
Spontaneous symmetry breaking is related to the appearance of emergent phenomena, while a non-vanishing order parameter has been viewed as the sign of turning into such symmetry breaking phase. Recently, we have proposed a continuous…
We consider two proposals for defining black hole entropy in spherical symmetry, where the horizon is defined locally as a trapping horizon. The first case, boundary terms in a dual-null form of the reduced action in two dimensions, gives a…
The interfacial instability and subsequent dynamics in a phase-separated two-component Bose-Einstein condensate with rotation symmetry are studied. When the interatomic interaction or the trap frequency is changed, the Rayleigh-Taylor…
In the context of Born-Infeld electrodynamics, the electromagnetic fields interact with each other via their non-linear couplings. A calculation will be performed where an incoming electromagnetic plane wave scatters off a Coulomb Field in…
In 2D topological systems chiral edges may exhibit a spectral change due to the formation of a Bose condensate and partial confinement in the bulk according to the topological symmetry breaking (TSB) mechanism. We analyze in detail what…
We explain why the concept of a spontaneously broken superconformal symmetry is useful to describe inflationary models favored by the Planck. Non-minimal coupling of complex scalars to curvature, N(X, X*) R, is compulsory for superconformal…
The connection between symmetries and conservation laws is a cornerstone of physics. It underlies Bloch's theorem which explains wave phenomena in all linear periodic systems. Here we demonstrate that, in a nonlinear grating with memory,…
Mean-field methods are a very powerful tool for investigating weakly interacting many-body systems in many branches of physics. In particular, they describe with excellent accuracy trapped Bose-Einstein condensates. A generic, but difficult…
Applying very small purely radial strains on amorphous solids in radial geometry one observes elastic responses that break the radial symmetry. Without any plasticity involved, the responses indicate nonlinear mode coupling contributions…
Symmetry-breaking phase transitions are ubiquitous in condensed matter systems and in quantum field theories. There is also good reason to believe that they feature in the very early history of the Universe. At many such transitions…
