Effective field theory for spontaneously broken symmetry
Brauner, Tomas.

Effective field theory for spontaneously broken symmetry[electronic resource] /by Tomas Brauner. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2024. - xvi, 429 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm. - Lecture notes in physics,v. 10231616-6361 ;. - Lecture notes in physics ;650..

Introduction -- Our first model -- Generalizations of the model -- Spontaneous symmetry breaking -- Nambu-Goldstone bosons -- Effective field theory -- Nonlinear realization of symmetry -- Low-energy effective field theory -- Some examples and applications -- Scattering of Nambu-Goldstone bosons -- Differences between internal and spacetime symmetry -- Nonlinear realization of spacetime symmetry -- Broken spacetime symmetry in quantum matter -- Broken spacetime symmetry in classical matter -- Topics not covered in this book -- Some open questions. Appendix.

Open access.

This open access book is about spontaneous symmetry breaking, which is a classic area of theoretical physics that lies at the core of many fascinating phenomena such as ferromagnetism, superfluidity, superconductivity, or the Higgs mechanism. The book brings an up-to-date overview of spontaneous symmetry breaking and of modern effective field theory description thereof. The topics covered include the classification of Nambu-Goldstone bosons, nonlinear realization of internal and spacetime symmetries and the construction of the corresponding effective actions, and selected applications. With in-depth exposition of conceptual foundations and numerous illustrative examples, the book is accessible to anybody having taken a basic course on quantum field theory. It serves as a self-contained text for graduate students and junior researchers in diverse areas of physics, but also as a useful reference for experts.
