Spontaneous breaking of rotational symmetry in superconductors.
We show that homogeneous superconductors with broken spin/isospin symmetry lower their energy via a transition to a novel superconducting state where the Fermi surfaces are deformed to a quasiellipsoidal form at zero total momentum of Cooper pairs. In this state, the gain in the condensation energy of the pairs dominates over the loss in the kinetic energy caused by the lowest order (quadrupole...
متن کاملCollapse, Symmetry Breaking, and Hysteresis in Swirling Flows
The paper reviews striking features of swirling flows—collapse, swirl generation, vortex breakdown, hysteresis, and axisymmetry breaking—and the mechanisms involved with the help of conical similarity solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations. The strong accumulation of axial and angular momenta, observed in tornadoes and flows over delta wings, corresponds to collapse, i.e. the singularity deve...
متن کاملRotational Symmetry Breaking in Multi-Matrix Models
We consider a class of multi-matrix models with an action which is O(D)-invariant, where D is the number of N × N Hermitian matrices Xμ, μ = 1, . . . , D. The action is a function of all the elementary symmetric functions of the matrix Tμν = Tr(XμXν)/N . We address the issue whether the O(D) symmetry is spontaneously broken when the size N of the matrices goes to infinity. The phase diagram in ...
متن کاملSurface topography and rotational symmetry breaking.
The surface electroclinic effect, which is a rotation of the molecular director in the substrate plane proportional to an electric field E applied normal to the substrate, requires both a chiral environment and C(2) (or lower) rotational symmetry about E. The two symmetries typically are created in tandem by manipulating the surface topography, a process that conflates their effects. Here we us...
متن کاملRotational symmetry breaking in Heisenberg spin glasses: A microscopic approach.
We study the consequences of rotational symmetry breaking in isotropic vector spin glasses. Starting from a microscopic model we identify the underlying symmetries of time-dependent (replica-dependent) SO(rn) rotations. The hydrodynamic triad theory is confirmed and the spinwave stiffness is related to a generalized transverse susceptibility. An expansion around mean-field theory is used to cal...
