Re-Interpretation of Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking in Quantum Field Theory and Goldstone Theorem

We present a new picture of global symmetry breaking in quantum field theory and propose a novel realization of symmetry breaking phenomena in terms of the conserved charge associated with its symmetry. In particular, the fermion condensate of the vacuum state is examined when the spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking takes place. It is shown that the fermion condensate of the vacuum vanishes if the system is solved exactly, and therefore we cannot make use of the Goldstone theorem. As a perfect example, we present the Bethe ansatz vacuum of the Thirring model which shows the spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking with no fermion condensate.

Historical Mistake in Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking

The prediction of a massless boson after the spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking in the classic paper of Nambu and Jona-Lasinio (NJL) is shown to be wrong. Their mistake is due to a carelessly employed perturbative vacuum when evaluating the boson mass by summing up one loop Feynman diagrams. With the proper symmetry broken vacuum, one obtains a finite boson mass depending on the coupling constant $G$.

New Vacuum of Bethe Ansatz Solutions in Thirring Model

We find a new vacuum of the Bethe ansatz solutions in the massless Thirring model. This vacuum breaks the chiral symmetry and has the lower energy than the well-known symmetric vacuum energy. Further, we evaluate the energy spectrum of the one particle-one hole ($1p-1h$) states, and find that it has a finite gap. The analytical expressions for the true vacuum as well as for the lowest $1p-1h$ excited state are also found. Further, we examine the bosonization of the massless Thirring model and prove that the well-known procedure of bosonization of the massless Thirring model is incomplete because of the lack of the zero mode in the boson field.

Non-equivalence between Heisenberg XXZ spin chain and Thirring model

The Bethe ansatz equations for the spin 1/2 Heisenberg XXZ spin chain are numerically solved, and the energy eigenvalues are determined for the anti-ferromagnetic case. We examine the relation between the XXZ spin chain and the Thirring model, and show that the spectrum of the XXZ spin chain is different from that of the regularized Thirring model.

EDM operator free from Schiff's theorem

We present generalized Schiff's transformation on electric dipole moments (EDM) in quantum field theory. By the unitary transformation, the time and parity violating interaction $i{ge\over 2} \bar ψσ_{μν} γ_5 ψF^{μν}$ is transformed into a new form, but its nonrelativistic reduction has a unique form, which is free from Schiff's theorem. The relativistic corrections to the new EDM operator turn out to be a small increase to the EDM as given by $b_2 (αZ)^2$ with $b_2 \simeq 2 $. Therefore, the calculation of the EDM with nonrelativistic Hartree-Fock wave functions presents the most conservative but reliable estimation for the enhancement factor of the EDM in atoms.
