Chiral symmetry undergoes a metamorphosis at $T_c$. For $T < T_c$, the usual Noether charge, $\Qa$, is dynamically broken by the vacuum. Above $T_c$, chiral symmetry undergoes a subtle change, and the Noether charge \underline{{\em morphs}}…
Chirality is a manifestation of the asymmetry inherent in nature. It has been defined as the symmetry breaking of the parity of static objects, and the definition was extended to dynamic motion such that true and false chiralities were…
