Symmetry 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 کاملSpontaneous breaking of Lorentz symmetry in (2+1)-dimensional QED
The phase diagram of quantum electrodynamics in three space-time dimensions as a function of fermion flavor number N exhibits two well-known phases: at large N > N c the system is in a conformal state with anomalous exponents, while for small N < N c the fermions are expected to develop a dynamical mass due to spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking. Using expansion near the lower critical dimensi...
متن کاملSymmetries and Symmetry-Breaking in String Theory
1. Introduction 1.1. Motivations This note summarizes a talk based on [7]. One motivation for this work is an old and basic question in string theory: What are the fundamental symmetry principles upon which theory should be based. If we understood the answer to this we would then go on to ask how the (on shell) symmetries are broken, and whether there is a notion of a " most symmetric backgroun...
متن کاملSpontaneous Lorentz Symmetry Breaking by Anti-Symmetric Tensor Field
We study the spontaneous Lorentz symmetry breaking in a field theoretical model in (2+1)-dimension, inspired by string theory. This model is a gauge theory of an anti-symmetric tensor field and a vector field (photon). The Nambu-Goldstone (NG) boson for the spontaneous Lorentz symmetry breaking is identified with the unphysical massless photon in the covariant quantization. We also discuss an a...
متن کاملNoncommutative Field Theory and Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking
We investigate the noncommutative analogue of the spontaneously broken linear sigma model at the one-loop quantum level. In the commutative case, renormalization of a theory with a spontaneously broken continuous global symmetry depends on cancellations that enable the limited set of counterterms consistent with that symmetry to remove the divergences even after its spontaneous breaking, while ...
