Abstract

We present a new mechanism of fluctuation-induced Nambu–Goldstone bosons in a scalar field theory of Higgs–Josephson systems. We consider a simple scalar field model with rotational symmetry. When there is an interaction which violates the rotational symmetry, the Nambu–Goldstone bosons become massive and massless bosons are concealed. We present a model where the massive boson becomes a massless boson as a result of the perturbative fluctuation. In our model the -symmetry associated with the chirality is also broken. The transition occurs as a first-order transition at the critical point. The ground state at absolute zero will flow into the state with more massless bosons due to fluctuation effects at finite temperature.

Highlights

  • When global and continuous symmetries are spontaneously broken, gapless excitation modes, called the Nambu-Goldstone bosons, exist and govern the long-distance behaviors of the system[1,2,3]

  • An interesting question is whether such an interaction will continuously conceal the Nambu-Goldstone bosons when the perturbative corrections are taken into account

  • Nambu-Goldstone boson emerges for a = 1 as a result of Summary We have proposed the mechanism of flucfluctuation of the U (1) phase variables

Summary

Introduction

When global and continuous symmetries are spontaneously broken, gapless excitation modes, called the Nambu-Goldstone bosons, exist and govern the long-distance behaviors of the system[1,2,3]. Ρj takes a finite value at the minimum of the potential We set this value as ∆j and write ρj = ∆j + Hj. Hj is the Higgs field and represents fluctuation of the scalar field around the minimum ∆j. We consider the role of fluctua- This state is shown in Fig.1(c) using a spin analogue tion and show the existence of fluctuation-induced mass- where we have two antiferromagnetic spins and one vanless mode. We examine the following free-energy density by neglecting the kinetic term: ishing√spin This means that the η2-mode is massless and φ2 = 6η2 = θ1 − 2θ2 + θ3 can take any value. The chirality disappears at finite temperature leading to the emergency of a NambuGoldstone boson This represents a phenomenon that the Nambu-Goldstone boson appears due to a fluctuation effect
