Spontaneous Breakdown

Confinement and spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking are the most fundamental phenomena in quark nuclear physics, where hadrons and nuclei are described in terms of quarks and gluons. The dual Ginzburg–Landau (DGL) theory contains monopole fields as the most essential degrees of freedom. Their condensation in the vacuum is modelled to describe quark confinement in strong connection with QCD. We then demonstrate that the DGL theory is able to describe the spontaneous breakdown of chiral symmetry.

Diagrammatic Perturbation Theory

Quantum chromodynamics (QCD), the theory of the strong interactions, involves quarks interacting with non-Abelian gluon fields. This theory has many features that are difficult to impossible to see in conventional diagrammatic perturbation theory. This includes quark confinement, mass generation and chiral symmetry breaking. This paper is a colloquium level overview of the framework for understanding how these effects come about.

AbstractThin films of organic molecules, such as Langmuir monolayers and freely suspended smectic films, can exhibit a spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry. This chiral symmetry breaking can occur through at least three possible mechanisms: (1) the relation between tilt order and bond-orientational order in a tilted hexatic phase, (2) a special packing of non-chiral molecules on a two-dimensional surface, and (3) phase separation of a racemic mixture. Because the chiral order parameter is coupled to variations in the direction of molecular tilt, chiral symmetry breaking leads to the formation of patterns in the tilt direction with one-dimensional or two-dimensional order. Using a Landau theory, we investigate these patterns and predict the critical behavior near the chiral symmetry breaking transition.
