A Note on Spontaneously Broken Lorentz Invariance
We consider a relativistic effective field theory of vector boson whose vacuum exhibits spontaneous breaking of Lorentz invariance. We argue that a simple model of this type, considered recently by Kraus and Tomboulis, is obstructed from having a consistent ultraviolet completion according to the diagnostic recently suggested by Adams, Arkani-Hamed, Dubovsky, Nicolis, and Rattazzi. Relativistic...
متن کاملSpontaneously broken mass
The Galilei group involves mass as a central charge. We show that the associated superselection rule is incompatible with the observed phenomenology of superfluid helium 4: this is recovered only under the assumption that mass is spontaneously broken. This remark is somewhat immaterial for the real world, where the correct space-time symmetries are encoded by the Poincaré group, which has no ce...
متن کاملspontaneously-broken chiral symmetry
We present and discuss the properties and the main results of a cosmological model with a spontaneously-broken chiral symmetry. The model contains and relates dynamically, two spin-zero fields. The scalar field can provide the dynamical basis for inflation in the early universe. The pseudoscalar, Goldstone field can provide an early, small residual vacuum energy density, the absolute value of w...
متن کاملSpontaneously broken color
The vacuum of QCD is characterized by the Higgs mechanism. Color is " spontaneously broken " by a quark-antiquark condensate in the octet representation. The massive gluons carry integer electric charges and are identified with the vector mesons. The fermionic ex-citations consist of the low mass baryon octet and a singlet. The interactions between these particles and the light pseudoscalar oct...
متن کاملIs boundary conformal in CFT?
We discuss boundary conditions for conformal field theories that preserve the boundary Poincaré invariance. As in the bulk field theories, a question arises whether boundary scale invariance leads to boundary conformal invariance. With unitarity, Cardy’s condition of vanishing momentum flow is necessary for the boundary conformal invariance, but it is not sufficient in general. We show both a p...
