Some aspects of $Q$-conditional symmetry and of its connections with reduction and compatibility are discussed.
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…
We argue that the temperature inversion symmetry present in the original Casimir setup and also in other Casimir systems for which symmetrical boundary conditions are imposed is not related to the duality transformations that in the context…
In these lectures we look for parallels between symmetry breaking in the early universe and condensed matter systems, and discuss experiments that display these.
These days, as high energy particle colliders become unavailable for testing speculative theoretical ideas, physicists are looking to other environments that may provide extreme conditions where theory confronts physical reality. One such…
We present a rigorous analysis of the phenomenon of decoherence for general $N-$level systems coupled to reservoirs. The latter are described by free massless bosonic fields. We apply our general results to the specific cases of the qubit…
In this work we investigate the transition from kinks to compactons at high temperatures. We deal with a family of models, described by a real scalar field with standard kinematics, controlled by a single parameter, real and positive. The…
The phenomenon of spontaneous symmetry breaking is investigated in the dynamic thermalization of a degenerate quantum system. A three-level system interacting with a heat bath is carefully studied to this end. It is shown that the…
Quality of approximations is an important issue in modelling nuclear matter. It is shown that the Pad{\' e} approximation provides a useful tool for describing the symmetry energy in highly asymmetric systems. The focus is on the symmetry…
In this talk the following question is addressed: are internal symmetries necessarily restored at high temperature in supersymmetric theories? Contrary to the general belief, we argue that the answer is no when systems possess a net…
The solution of a fine tuning problem is one of the principal motivations of Supersymmetry. However experimental constraints indicate that many Supersymmetric models are also fine tuned (although to a much lesser extent). We review the…
We present explicitly another example of a temperature inversion symmetry in the Casimir effect for a nonsymmetric boundary condition. We also give an interpretation for our result.
Remotely sensed, spatially continuous and high spatiotemporal resolution (hereafter referred to as high resolution) land surface temperature (LST) is a key parameter for studying the thermal environment and has important applications in…
Various aspects of Supersymmetry in 1-dimensional systems are analyzed.
The functional form of the nuclear symmetry energy has only been determined in a very narrow range of densities. Uncertainties concern both the low as well as the high density behaviour of this function. In this work different shapes of the…
In understanding the world of matter, the introduction of symmetry principles following experimentation or using the predictive power of symmetry principles to guide experimentation is most profound. The conservation of energy, linear…
Inequalities for QCD functional integrals are used to establish that up to certain technical assumptions. the high temperature chirally restored phase of QCD is effectively symmetric under $U(N_f) \times U(N_f)$ rather than $SU(N_f) \times…
A description of strange quark matter at finite temperature is given, with emphasis on the inclusion of finite size effects. For massless quarks all thermodynamic quantities can be evaluated analytically, while the case of massive quarks…
Thermodynamic formalism for rotating black holes, characterized by noncommutative and quantum corrections, is constructed. From a fundamental thermodynamic relation, equations of state and thermodynamic response functions are explicitly…
Recent developments on medium modifications of hadron properties in dense and hot hadronic matter are discussed. I will focus in particular on the behavior of spectral functions associated to collective scalar-isoscalar modes, kaons and…
