Bose-Einstein condensation and gauge symmetry breaking
The fundamental problem is analized, the relation between Bose-Einstein condensation and spontaneous gauge symmetry breaking. This relation is largerly misunderstood in physics community. Numerous articles and books contain the statement that, though gauge symmetry breaking helps for describing Bose-Einstein condensation, but the latter, in principle, does not require any symmetry breaking. Thi...
متن کاملSpontaneous symmetry breaking in gauge theories via Bose-Einstein condensation
We propose a mechanism naturally leading to the spontaneous symmetry breaking in a gauge theory. The Higgs field is assumed to have global and gauged internal symmetries. We associate a non zero chemical potential to one of the globally conserved charges commuting with all of the gauge transformations. This induces a negative mass squared for the Higgs field triggering the spontaneous symmetry ...
متن کاملBose-Einstein Condensation and Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking
After recalling briefly the connection between spontaneous symmetry breaking and off-diagonal long range order for models of magnets a general proof of spontaneous breaking of gauge symmetry as a consequence of Bose-Einstein Condensation is presented. The proof is based on a rigorous validation of Bogoliubov’s c-number substitution for the k = 0 mode operator a0.
متن کاملEquivalence of Bose-Einstein condensation and symmetry breaking.
Based on a classic paper by Ginibre [Commun. Math. Phys. 8, 26 (1968)] it is shown that, whenever Bogoliubov's approximation, that is, the replacement of a(0) and a*(0) by complex numbers in the Hamiltonian, asymptotically yields the right pressure, it also implies the asymptotic equality of |a(0)|(2)/V and a*(0)a(0)/V in symmetry breaking fields, irrespective of the existence or absence of Bos...
متن کاملBose-Einstein condensation as symmetry breaking in compact curved spacetimes.
We examine Bose-Einstein condensation as a form of symmetry breaking in the specific model of the Einstein static universe. We show that symmetry breaking never occurs in the sense that the chemical potential µ never reaches its critical value. This leads us to some statements about spaces of finite volume in general. In an appendix we clarify the relationship between the standard statistical m...
