Generalized Symmetries in Condensed Matter

Abstract

Recent advances in our understanding of symmetry in quantum many-body systems offer the possibility of a generalized Landau paradigm that encompasses all equilibrium phases of matter. This is a brief and elementary review of some of these developments.

Keyword(s): low-energy effective field theory, quantum, quantum phases of matter, spontaneous symmetry breaking, symmetry
