Symmetry Restoration by Stretching
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider restoring the bilateral symmetry of an object which has been deformed by compression. This problem arises in paleontology, where symmetric bones are compressed in the process of fossilization. Our input is a user-selected set P of point-pairs on the deformed object, which are assumed to be mirror-images in some undeformed set AP , with some added noise. We carefully formulate the problem, and give a closed-form solution.

Systems with Symmetry Breaking and Restoration
Statistical systems, in which spontaneous symmetry breaking can be accompanied by spontaneous local symmetry restoration, are considered. A general approach to describing such systems is formulated, based on the notion of weighted Hilbert spaces and configuration averaging. The approach is illustrated by the example of a ferroelectric with mesoscopic fluctuations of paraelectric phase. The infl...
متن کاملSymmetry Restoration by Acceleration
The restoration of spontaneous symmetry breaking for a scalar field theory for an accelerated observer is discussed by the one-loop effective potential calculation and by considering the effective potential for composite operators. Above a critical acceleration, corresponding to the critical restoration temperature, , for a Minkowski observer by Unruh relation, i.e. c T 2π c c a T , the symme...
متن کاملActive Isolated Stretching: The Mattes Method
Active Isolated Stretching began to develop in 1970. What began as an attempt to find specific techniques to alleviate pain and improve everyday performance 40 years ago has developed into the scientific based art of isolated movement that we may experience today. The educational background in physiology, kinesiology and functional anatomy provided the basis for the innovative therapeutic techn...
متن کاملSymmetry Non-restoration at High Temperature
We discuss the (non)-restoration of global and local symmetries at high temperature. First, we analyze a two-scalar model with Z2×Z2 symmetry using the exact renormalization group. We conclude that inverse symmetry breaking is possible in this kind of models within the perturbative regime. Regarding local symmetries, we consider the SU(2)⊗U(1) gauge symmetry and focus on the case of a strongly ...
متن کاملChiral and U(1) axial symmetry restoration in linear sigma models with two quark flavors
We study the restoration of chiral symmetry in linear sigma models with two quark flavors. The models taken into consideration have a U(2) × U(2) and an O(N) internal symmetry. The physical mesons of these models are σ, pion, η and a0 where the latter two are not present in the O(N) model. Including two-loop contributions through sunset graphs we calculate the temperature behavior of the order ...
