Dual Ginzburg-landau Theory and Chiral Symmetry Breaking
We study the properties of quarks, being confined in hadrons, with the Schwinger-Dyson equation in the dual Ginzburg-Landau Theory. Magnetic monopole condensation, which provides quark confinement, is demonstrated responsible also for dynamical chiral-symmetry breaking. We discuss then the recovery of the chiral symmetry at finite temperature.
متن کاملSymmetry-Breaking Supercollisions in Landau-Quantized Graphene.
Recent pump-probe experiments performed on graphene in a perpendicular magnetic field have revealed carrier relaxation times ranging from picoseconds to nanoseconds depending on the quality of the sample. To explain this surprising behavior, we propose a novel symmetry-breaking defect-assisted relaxation channel. This enables scattering of electrons with single out-of-plane phonons, which drast...
متن کاملLaws , Symmetry , and Symmetry Breaking ; Invariance , Conservation Principles , and Objectivity ∗
Given its importance in modern physics, philosophers of science have paid surprisingly little attention to the subject of symmetries and invariances, and they have largely neglected the subtopic of symmetry breaking. I illustrate how the topic of laws and symmetries brings into fruitful interaction technical issues in physics and mathematics with both methodological issues in philosophy of scie...
متن کاملSymmetry Breaking in String Theory
In this paper we discuss symmetry breaking in string theory. Spacetime symmetries are implemented as inner automorphisms of the underlying superconformal algebra. Conserved currents generate unbroken spacetime symmetries. As we deform the classical solutions of the string equations of motion, the deformed currents continue to generate spontaneously broken symmetries eventhough they cease to com...
متن کاملReduction theory for symmetry breaking
We formulate Euler-Poincaré equations for systems with broken symmetry. In particular, we consider the action of a Lie group O (the broken symmetry) on a manifold M , thereby extending the well known case when M is a vector space. In condensed matter physics, M is known as the order parameter space and we provide several examples of how the present treatment applies in this framework, with spec...
