Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There is no doubt that symmetries play a fundamental role in high energy physics and their relativistic phenomena. Researchers strive to develop elegant models to describe the world of elementary particles and make theoretical predictions introducing symmetry. An example of such efforts is the supersymmetric standard model, which introduces a supersymmetric partner for each particle and is part of the research relating to the grand unified theory. By exploring the particular areas of the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter, chiral symmetry restoration can be expected. In the case of quasi-free quarks (transition to quark–gluon plasma), (partial) restoration of chiral symmetry is expected. Moreover, in dense nuclear matter, the properties of the various hadronic resonances can change as a consequence of the recovery of chiral symmetry. When describing nuclear matter using relativistic hydrodynamics, cylindrical, ellipsoidal, spheroidal, or Gaussian symmetries are used to describe the initial state of quark matter in collisions of heavy ions at relativistic energies.
In this Special Issue of Symmetry, we will focus on all aspect of symmetries, including the reasons and consequences for the prevalent use of symmetry and restoration or for breaking symmetry. This Special Issue will cover many topics, such as high energy physics, particle physics, strong interactions, QCD, QED, the standard model and beyond, particle interactions, the physics of heavy ions, resonance productions, and relativistic hydrodynamics. Investigations of relativistic hydrodynamics in the scientific fields mentioned above are also welcome.

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.
