Spontaneous breaking of non-relativistic scale symmetry
Abstract We analyze the mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking of scale invariance in Galilean invariant field theories. We show that the existence of a dynamic gapless dilaton mode depends on whether the U(1) particle number or the Galilean boost symmetry are spontaneously broken. When both sca...
