Critical behavior and axis defining symmetry breaking in Hydra embryonic development.
The formation of a hollow cellular sphere is often one of the first steps of multicellular embryonic development. In the case of Hydra, the sphere breaks its initial symmetry to form a foot-head axis. During this process a gene, ks1, is increasingly expressed in localized cell domains whose size distribution becomes scale-free at the axis-locking moment. We show that a physical model based sole...
متن کاملTopological singularities and symmetry breaking in development
The review presents a topological interpretation of some morphogenetic events through the use of well-known mathematical concepts and theorems. Spatial organization of the biological fields is analyzable in topological terms. Topological singularities inevitably emerging in biological morphogenesis are retained and transformed during pattern formation. It is the topological language that can pr...
متن کاملDynamical chiral symmetry breaking and a critical mass
On a bounded, measurable domain of non-negative current-quark mass, realistic models of QCD’s gap equation can simultaneously admit two inequivalent dynamical chiral symmetry breaking (DCSB) solutions and a solution that is unambiguously connected with the realisation of chiral symmetry in the Wigner mode. The Wigner solution and one of the DCSB solutions are destabilised by a current-quark mas...
متن کاملA ug 2 00 3 Critical behavior of disordered systems with replica symmetry breaking
A field-theoretic description of the critical behavior of weakly disordered systems with a p-component order parameter is given. For systems of an arbitrary dimension in the range from three to four, a renormalization group analysis of the effective replica Hamiltonian of the model with an interaction potential without replica symmetry is given in the two-loop approximation. For the case of the...
متن کاملCritical Dynamics of Symmetry Breaking: Quenches, Dissipation and Cosmology
Symmetry-breaking phase transitions may leave behind topological defects [1] with a density dependent on the quench rate [2]. We investigate the dynamics of such quenches for the one-dimensional, Landau-Ginzburg case and show that the density of kinks, n, scales differently with the quench timescale, τQ, depending on whether the dynamics in the vicinity of the critical point is overdamped (n ∝ ...
