Bose-Einstein Condensation and Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking
After recalling briefly the connection between spontaneous symmetry breaking and off-diagonal long range order for models of magnets a general proof of spontaneous breaking of gauge symmetry as a consequence of Bose-Einstein Condensation is presented. The proof is based on a rigorous validation of Bogoliubov’s c-number substitution for the k = 0 mode operator a0.
متن کاملSpontaneous Symmetry Breaking in the Non-Abelian Anyon Fluid
We study the theory of non-relativistic matter coupled to the non-Abelian U(2) Chern-Simons gauge field in (2+1) dimensions. We adopt the mean field approximation in the current-algebra formulation already applied to the Abelian anyons. We first show that this method is able to describe both “boson-based” and “fermion-based” anyons and yields consistent results over the whole range of fractiona...
متن کاملSpontaneous symmetry breaking in gauge theories via Bose-Einstein condensation
We propose a mechanism naturally leading to the spontaneous symmetry breaking in a gauge theory. The Higgs field is assumed to have global and gauged internal symmetries. We associate a non zero chemical potential to one of the globally conserved charges commuting with all of the gauge transformations. This induces a negative mass squared for the Higgs field triggering the spontaneous symmetry ...
متن کاملFrom Yukawa’s Pion to Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking
What we now call particle physics started first as nuclear physics in the 1930s, and I have once proposed to call Ernest Lawrence and Hideki Yukawa the two founders of particle physics: The first invented the cyclotron, the second ‘‘invented’’ the meson theory, which together opened the door to the exploration of ever higher energy phenomena and to the discovery of particles of ever increasing ...
متن کاملNonperturbative Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking
One of the most astonishing results of quantum field theory is spontaneous symmetry breaking. One can say that it is the situation when something arises from the quantization. This means that on the quantum level one has something that was not present on the classical level. Coleman and Weinberg [1] write : “ . . . higher-order effects may qualitatively change the character of a physical theory...
