Spontaneous symmetry breaking in quantum mechanics
We present a mathematically simple procedure to explain spontaneous symmetry breaking in quantum systems. The procedure is applicable to a wide range of models and can be easily used to explain the existence of a symmetry broken state in crystals, antiferromagnets, and even superconductors. It has the advantage that it automatically brings to the fore the main players in spontaneous symmetry br...
متن کاملSymmetry Breaking in Classical Particle Mechanics
The U(1) gauge field is usually induced from the gauge principle, that is, the extension of global U(1) phase transformation for matter field. However the phase itself is realized only for quantum theory. This makes us feel that the gauge fields are induced only in quantum theory by gauge principle. To make clear this point, we start from the non-relativistic classical particle, and we transfor...
متن کاملDynamical Symmetry Breaking in Spaces with Constant Negative Curvature
By using the Nambu-Jona–Lasinio model, we study dynamical symmetry breaking in spaces with constant negative curvature. We show that the physical reason for zero value of critical coupling value gc = 0 in these spaces is connected with the effective reduction of dimension of spacetime 1+D → 1+1 in the infrared region, which takes place for any dimension 1 + D. Since the Laplace–Beltrami operato...
متن کاملCurvature-induced symmetry breaking in nonlinear Schrodinger models
We consider a curved chain of nonlinear oscillators and show that the interplay of curvature and nonlinearity leads to a symmetry breaking when an asymmetric stationary state becomes energetically more favorable than a symmetric stationary state. We show that the energy of localized states decreases with increasing curvature, i.e., bending is a trap for nonlinear excitations. A violation of the...
متن کاملSymmetry-breaking inelastic wave-mixing atomic magnetometry
The nonlinear magneto-optical rotation (NMOR) effect has prolific applications ranging from precision mapping of Earth's magnetic field to biomagnetic sensing. Studies on collisional spin relaxation effects have led to ultrahigh magnetic field sensitivities using a single-beam Λ scheme with state-of-the-art magnetic shielding/compensation techniques. However, the NMOR effect in this widely used...
