Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The concept of symmetry is fundamental in constructing a theoretical model in field theory and is strongly implemented in the dynamics of the observables associated with that theory.
Starting from the global symmetries associated with particles or fields and moving to the more intricate local symmetries that extend to the space-time continuum, symmetries or their breaking are central to the progress made in theoretical physics. For example, the spontaneous breaking of the electroweak group in the standard model is crucial for endowing all particles with masses and has been spectacularly confirmed at the LHC.
The aim of the present Special Issue is to present the advances in field theories regarding the role of known symmetries or the implementation of new ones in modern field theories.
We are soliciting contributions (research and review papers) concerning local or global symmetries and their role in theoretical high-energy or gravitational physics, including, but not limited to, the following:
- An extension to the Poincare algebra and recent advances in supersymmetry;
- Space-time extensions with their symmetries;
- Dualities and equivalences in field theories, either particle or gravitational;
- The modern role of gauge symmetry with applications;
- Conservation laws in gravity, including new concepts and advances;
- New geometrical structures and symmetries in field theories.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
