Four-field symmetry breakings in twin-resonator photonic isomers by Alekhya Ghosh, Lewis Hill, Gian-Luca Oppo, Pascal Del'Haye

“…In each configuration we observe multiple degrees and levels of spontaneous symmetry breaking between circulating photon numbers and further, a wide range of oscillatory dynamics, such as chaos and multiple variations of periodic switching. …”

Superconductors with a Topological Gap by Maria Cristina Diamantini

“…I review a new superconductivity mechanism in which the gap is opened through a topological mechanism and not through the Landau mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking. As a consequence, the low-energy effective theory which describes these new superconductors is not the Landau–Ginzburg theory, formulated in terms of a local-order parameter, but a topological-field theory formulated in terms of emerging gauge fields. …”

Transverse Peierls Transition by Kaifa Luo, Xi Dai

“…We propose a new type of spontaneous symmetry breaking phase caused by softening of the transverse acoustic phonon modes through electron-phonon coupling. …”

Rise and fall of patterns in driven-dissipative Rydberg polaritons by Hadiseh Alaeian, Valentin Walther

“…In this study, we present an exploration of spontaneous symmetry breaking and pattern formation in the driven-dissipative system of Rydberg exciton polaritons with long-range interactions. …”

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. …”

Building 1D lattice models with $G$-graded fusion category by Shang-Qiang Ning, Bin-Bin Mao, Chenjie Wang

“…The models display a set of unconventional global symmetries that are characterized by the input category $\mathcal{C}_G$. While spontaneous symmetry breaking is also possible, our numerical evidence shows that the category symmetry constrains the models to the extent that the low-energy physics has a large likelihood to be gapless.…”

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. …”

Spontaneous breaking of finite group symmetries at all temperatures by Pedro Liendo, Junchen Rong, Haoyu Zhang

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

“…Domain walls arise in theories where there is spontaneous symmetry breaking of a discrete symmetry such as ZN and are a feature of many BSM models. …”

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. …”

Symmetry breaking via internal geometry by Andrew Talmadge

“…Gauge theories commonly employ complex vector-valued fields to reduce symmetry groups through the Higgs mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking. The geometry of the internal space V is tacitly assumed to be the metric geometry of some static, nondynamical hermitian metric k. …”

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. …”
