Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking of Lorentz and (Galilei) Boosts in (Relativistic) Many-Body Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
We extend a result by Ojima on spontaneous symmetry breaking of Lorentz boosts in thermal (KMS) states and show that it is in fact a special case in a more general class of examples of spontaneous symmetry breaking of Lorentz symmetry in relativistic many-body systems. Furthermore we analyse the nature of the corresponding Goldstone phenomenon and the type of Goldstone excitations (provided they have particle character).

Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking and Nambu-Goldstone Bosons in Quantum Many-Body Systems
Spontaneous symmetry breaking is a general principle that constitutes the underlying concept of a vast number of physical phenomena ranging from ferromagnetism and superconductivity in condensed matter physics to the Higgs mechanism in the standard model of elementary particles. I focus on manifestations of spontaneously broken symmetries in systems that are not Lorentz invariant, which include...
متن کاملNuclear many-body dynamics constrained by QCD and chiral symmetry
We present a novel description of nuclear many-body systems, both for nuclear matter and finite nuclei, emphasizing the connection with the condensate structure of the QCD ground state and spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking. Lorentz scalar and vector mean-fields are introduced in accordance with QCD sum rules. Nuclear binding arises from pionic fluctuations, using in-medium chiral perturbatio...

Non-commutative field theory as a theory including the Lorentz violation can be constructed in two different ways. In the first method, the non-commutative fields are the same as the ordinary ones while the gauge group is restricted to U(n). For example, the symmetry group of standard model in non-commutative space is U(3)×(2)×U(1) which can be reduced to SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1) by two appropriate spo...
متن کاملLorentz-Violating Extension of the Standard Model
In the context of conventional quantum field theory, we present a general Lorentz-violating extension of the minimal SU(3) × SU(2)× U(1) standard model including CPT-even and CPTodd terms. It can be viewed as the low-energy limit of a physically relevant fundamental theory with Lorentz-covariant dynamics in which spontaneous Lorentz violation occurs. The extension has gauge invariance, energy-m...
متن کاملLorentz symmetry breaking effects on relativistic EPR correlations
Lorentz symmetry breaking effects on relativistic EPR (Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen) correlations are discussed. From the modified Maxwell theory coupled to gravity, we establish a possible scenario of the Lorentz symmetry violation and write an effective metric for the Minkowski spacetime. Then we obtain the Wigner rotation angle via the Fermi–Walker transport of spinors and consider the WKB (Wentz...
