Spontaneous Breakdown of the Time Reversal Symmetry
The role of the environment initial conditions in the breaking of the time reversal symmetry of effective theories and in generating the soft irreversibility is studied by the help of Closed Time Path formalism. The initial conditions break the time reversal symmetry of the solution of the equation of motion in a trivial manner. When open systems are considered then the initial conditions of th...
متن کاملSupersymmetry and the spontaneous breakdown of PT symmetry
The appearances of complex eigenvalues in the spectra of PT -symmetric quantummechanical systems are usually associated with a spontaneous breaking of PT . In this letter we discuss a family of models for which this phenomenon is also linked with an explicit breaking of supersymmetry. Exact level-crossings are located, and connections with N -fold supersymmetry and quasi-exact solvability in ce...
متن کاملThe Center Symmetry and Its Spontaneous Breakdown at High Temperatures
The Euclidean action of non-Abelian gauge theories with adjoint dynamical charges (gluons or gluinos) at non-zero temperature T is invariant against topologically non-trivial gauge transformations in the Z(N)c center of the SU(N) gauge group. The Polyakov loop measures the free energy of fundamental static charges (infinitely heavy test quarks) and is an order parameter for the spontaneous brea...
متن کاملDoes Spontaneous Breakdown of Symmetry Imply Zero - Mass Particles ?
There is relatively intense interest at present in exploring more deeply and widely the suggestion' that the mathematical methods essential to the understanding of material media which exhibit long-range order (ferromagnets, superconductors, etc. ) may also be basic or useful for the theory of elementary particles. The original work had two connected aspects: the generation of fermion masses (b...
متن کاملTopological insulator with time-reversal symmetry
It is impossible to have quantum Hall effect without breaking the time-reversal symmetry. xy xy. If we want xy to be invariant under , xy xy, xy must be zero. Q: Can we have other type of topological insulators, in the presence of -symmetry? By saying topological insulator, I mean an insulator with a protected metallic edge. By protected, I mean no matter what we do, we cannot tu...
