We study the chiral symmetry structure in a linear sigma model with fermions in the presence of an external, uniform magnetic field in the 'effective potential' approach at the one loop level. We also study the chiral phase transition as a…

In this paper we study the consistency of generalized global symmetries in theories of quantum gravity, in particular string theory. Such global symmetries arise in theories with $(p+1)$-form gauge fields, and for spacetime dimension $d\leq…
We formulate the notion of quantum group symmetry of the Hamiltonian corresponding to Potts model and compute it for few simple models. Our examples illustrate how a slight change of the model parameter may result in a drastic change of the…
