Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Twentieth-century physics witnessed the fundamental role played by symmetries. Indeed, symmetry has long been a guiding principle in the study of quantum mechanical systems. Today, cutting-edge research in the field is pushed forward by various extensions of the traditional symmetries. For example, supersymmetry has proved successful in extracting the fundamental properties of many complex systems. Additionally, our understanding of symmetry in quantum systems has deepened recently due to the exciting progress in generalizations of traditional symmetries to higher-form symmetry and higher-categorical symmetries. Their relations to topological defects and other fascinating phenomena have attracted significant attention in both the condensed matter community and the high energy theory community. In addition, chaos and disorder, which in some sense reflect the lack of symmetry, have also emerged as important diagnoses of quantum systems. In this Special Issue, we aim to collect original research and topical reviews on the aforementioned aspects as well as other related topics.

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.

Our paper considers the possibility of the emergence and control of non-equilibrium states of a quasi-homogenous condensed medium with energy and particle flows in the phase space, which, first of all, manifest themselves in the explosive development of the asymmetry in the initially symmetric equilibrium system. This symmetry breaking and the appearance of non-equilibrium in the system are controlled by the coherent acceleration of the system. Dependencies of thermodynamic parameters of a strong nonequilibrium system on the indices of disequilibrium in coherently correlated states are given, and the estimates of the dielectric permittivity in a non-equilibrium system and modes of plasma acoustic oscillations are made. An estimate of the superconducting transition temperature under nonequilibrium conditions has been made. It is demonstrated that the superconducting transition temperature can approach the limiting value, corresponding to a quantum with its plasma frequency of the medium. Full article

We study the holographic dual of the two-dimensional non-relativistic field theory with anisotropic scaling from a symmetry perspective. We construct a new four-dimensional metric with two-dimensional global anisotropic scaling isometry. The four-dimensional spacetime is homogeneous and is a solution of Einstein gravity with quadratic-curvature extension. We consider this spacetime dual to the vacuum of the boundary field theory. By introducing a proper solution phase space, we find that the asymptotic symmetry of the gravity theory is the two-dimensional local anisotropic conformal symmetry, which recovers precisely the results from the dual non-relativistic field theory side.

This work systematically studies the island formula in the general asymptotically flat eternal black holes in generalized dilaton gravity theories or higher-dimensional spherical black holes. Under some reasonable and mild assumptions, we prove that (the boundary of) the island always appears barely outside the horizon in the late time of Hawking radiation, so the information paradox is resolved. In particular, we find a proper island in the Liouville black hole that solves the previous the puzzle. Full article
