Ordinary Global Symmetries, Phases of Matter, and the Landau Paradigm

  • Nabil Iqbal

摘要

Chapter 2 of Lectures on Generalized Global Symmetries reviews conventional global symmetries — which are essentially associated with the conservation of densities of particles — from the modern point of view of topological operators. It also briefly discusses the Landau paradigm of the phases of matter, one of the cornerstones of our understanding of nature.
