Light Higgs channel of the resonant decay of magnon condensate in superfluid 3He-B by V. V. Zavjalov, S. Autti, V. B. Eltsov, P. J. Heikkinen, G. E. Volovik

“…The order parameter describing the spontaneous symmetry breaking which occurs when a system becomes a superfluid is analogous to the Higgs field in particle physics from which the Higgs boson arises. …”

Superfluids as higher-form anomalies by Luca V. Delacrétaz, Diego M. Hofman, Grégoire Mathys

“…The anomalous Ward identity can be used as an alternative starting point to prove the existence of a Goldstone boson, without reference to spontaneous symmetry breaking. This provides an alternative characterization of Landau phase transitions in terms of higher-form symmetries and their anomalies instead of how the symmetries are realized. …”

Non-conformal entanglement entropy by Marika Taylor, William Woodhead

“…Abstract We explore the behaviour of renormalized entanglement entropy in a variety of holographic models: non-conformal branes; the Witten model for QCD; UV conformal RG flows driven by explicit and spontaneous symmetry breaking and Schrödinger geometries. Focussing on slab entangling regions, we find that the renormalized entanglement entropy captures features of the previously defined entropic c-function but also captures deep IR behaviour that is not seen by the c-function. …”

Role of Nambu-Goldstone modes in the fermionic-superfluid point contact by Shun Uchino

“…In fermionic superfluids that are charge neutral, Nambu-Goldstone (NG) modes, also known as Anderson-Bogoliubov modes, emerge as a result of spontaneous symmetry breaking. Here, we discuss DC transport properties of such NG modes through a quantum point contact. …”

Active micromachines: Microfluidics powered by mesoscale turbulence by Yeomans, J, Doostmohammadi, A, Shendruk, T, Thampi, S, Golestanian, R

“…By immersing an ordered array of symmetric rotors in an active fluid, we introduce a microfluidic system that exploits spontaneous symmetry breaking in mesoscale turbulence to generate work. …”

Optical effects of domain walls by Valentin V. Khoze, Daniel L. Milne

Neutrino masses from outer space by Guido D'Amico, Teresa Hamill, Nemanja Kaloper

“…When such a field is displaced from its minimum, its vev acts just like the Higgs vev in spontaneous symmetry breaking. Although these masses may eventually vanish, they do it over a very long time. …”

Probabilistic cellular automata for interacting fermionic quantum field theories by C. Wetterich

Dark photon Dark Matter without Stueckelberg mass by Michele Redi, Andrea Tesi

“…As a consequence the predictions of Stueckelberg theories are vastly modified, strongly depending on the couplings to curvature and on the scale of inflation H I compared to the scale f of spontaneous symmetry breaking. We find in particular that only in extreme regions of parameter space the phenomenology of Stueckelberg dark photon is reproduced. …”

Effective Scalar Potential in Asymptotically Safe Quantum Gravity by Christof Wetterich

“…The scaling potential takes a non-polynomial form, approaching typically a constant for large values of scalar fields. Spontaneous symmetry breaking may be induced by non-vanishing gauge couplings. …”

Consistency of Higgsplosion in localizable QFT by Valentin V. Khoze, Michael Spannowsky

“…We show that large n-particle production rates derived in the semiclassical Higgsplosion limit of scalar field theoretical models with spontaneous symmetry breaking, are consistent with general principles of localizable quantum field theory.The strict localizability criteria of Jaffe defines quantum fields as operator-valued distributions acting on test functions that are localized in finite regions of space–time. …”

Cooperative quantum information erasure by Lorenzo Buffoni, Michele Campisi

“…The method departs from the standard algorithmic cooling paradigm by exploiting cooperative effects associated to the mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking which are amplified by quantum tunnelling phenomena. …”

Higgs and BSM Studies at the LHC by Dezso Horváth

“…The discovery and study of the Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider of CERN has proven the validity of the Brout–Englert–Higgs mechanism of mass creation in the standard model via spontaneous symmetry breaking. The new results obtained by the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations at the LHC show that all measured cross-sections agree within uncertainties with the predictions of the theory. …”

Effective Dirac Neutrino Mass Operator in the Standard Model With a Local Abelian Extension by Diego Restrepo, David Suarez
