We elucidate the relation between the restricted Weyl symmetry and spontaneous symmetry breakdown of conformal symmetry. Using a scalar-tensor gravity, we show that the restricted Weyl symmetry leads to spontaneous symmetry breakdown of a…

The advantages and disadvantages of some pedagogical non-relativistic quantum-mechanical models, used to illustrate spontaneous symmetry breakdown, are discussed. A simple quantum-mechanical toy model (a spinor on the line, subject to a…

We show that baryon number symmetry is spontaneously broken in a class of three-dimensional, ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetric theories with a discrete mass spectrum. These models serve as lower-dimensional, less-supersymmetric analogs of the…

We propose a new type of symmetry breaking mechanism that takes boundaries into account, and show how it can detect surface modes by interpreting them as the order parameter associated with a generalized symmetry breaking. We argue that…

We present a clear and mathematically simple procedure explaining spontaneous symmetry breaking in quantum mechanical systems. The procedure is applicable to a wide range of models and can be easily used to explain the existence of a…

The quest to discover new 3D CFTs has been intriguing for physicists. For this purpose, fuzzy sphere reguarlisation that studies interacting quantum systems defined on the lowest Landau level on a sphere has emerged as a powerful tool. In…

Spontaneous symmetry breaking is a cornerstone of modern physics, defining a wealth of phenomena in condensed-matter and high-energy physics, and beyond. It requires an infinite number of degrees of freedom, and even then, for continuous…

We propose a new method for the study of the chiral properties of the ground state in Quantum Field Theories (QFT's) which is based on the computation of the probability distribution function (p.d.f.) of the chiral condensate in the chiral…

A mechanism is discussed to obtain light scalar fields from a spontaneously broken continuous symmetry without explicitly breaking it. If there is a continuous manifold of classical vacua in orbit space, its tangent directions describe…

We argue that in an inflationary cosmology a consequence of the lack of time translational invariance is that spontaneous breaking of a continuous symmetry and Goldstone's theorem \emph{do not} imply the existence of \emph{massless}…

Perhaps the most important aspect of symmetry in physics is the idea that a state does not need to have the same symmetries as the theory that describes it. This phenomenon is known as spontaneous symmetry breaking. In these lecture notes,…

We study spontaneous supersymmetry breaking in spatially modulated stable or meta-stable vacua in supersymmetric field theories. Such spatial modulation can be realized in a higher derivative chiral model for which vacuum energies are…

The fibre bundle formalism inherent to the construction of non-abelian Kaluza-Klein theories is presented and its associated dimensional reduction process analysed: is performed the dimensional reduction of G-invariant matter and gauge…

If a global continuous symmetry of a supersymmetric field theory is spontaneously broken while preserving the supersymmetry, the resulting theory has a massless superfield. One of its two bosonic degrees of freedom is the familiar phase…

The soft photon and soft graviton theorems of Weinberg are known to derive from conservation laws associated with asymptotic symmetries. Within the corresponding classical theories, one often speaks of spontaneous symmetry breaking and…

Considering a self-interaction only of mirror fermions in the context of a lattice-regularized fermion field theory, we show that the system undergoes spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry and mirror-fermion masses are generated. However,…

The aim of this work is to investigate the occurrence of two different spontaneous symmetry breakings {at} two levels of the description of fermion-scalar field model, by means of a set of gap equations and {with} a background field…

The phenomenon of spontaneous symmetry breaking is well known. It is known to be accompanied with the appearance of the `Goldstone boson'. In this paper we construct the canonical coordinates of the Goldstone boson, for quantum spin systems…

Spontanous symmetry breaking usually gives spin 0 Goldstone bosons for the case of internal symmetries and spin 1/2 fermions for the supersymmetry. The spontaneous breaking of higher dimensional Lorentz symmetry can give vector Goldstone…

We have calculated the ground state wave functions for a systems of multicomponent interacting fermions. We show that it describes the state with spontaneously broken chiral symmetry. In the limit of an infinitely strong interaction it…
