Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Symmetry is dedicated to articles reflecting progress in the following directions: quantization of gauge theories; symmetries in Hamiltonian and Lagrangian formulations of gauge theories; nonperturbative approaches to strong-field QFT and its applications to nanostructure physics; new solutions to relativistic wave equations and their applications; theory of self-adjoint extensions and its applications to physical problems; challenges in quantum information theory; and development of semiclassical methods in quantum theory.
We also seek contributions describing effects of particle creation by strong fields from the vacuum in high-energy physics and astrophysics, spontaneous production of electron–positron pairs by supercritical Coulomb fields, and similar effects in the physics of graphene and other nanostructures. The study of quantum effects in the evolution of particles and fields in curved spacetimes is of particular interest.

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.
