The fundamental problem is analyzed, the relation between Bose-Einstein condensation and spontaneous gauge symmetry breaking. This relation is largerly misunderstood in physics community. Numerous articles and books contain the statement that, though gauge symmetry breaking helps for describing Bose
We extend Michel's theorem on the geometry of symmetry breaking to the case of pure gauge theories, i.e., of gauge-invariant functionals defined on the space C of connections of a principal fiber bundle. Our proof follows closely the original one by Michel, using several known results on the geometr
We construct a Lagrangian density which is manifestly invariant under the orthosymplectic gauge group OSP(l; 4) and under general coordinate transformations. This is done by the use of two multiplets, the symmetric and antisymmetric representations of OSP(l; 4). We present the general features of OS
Using the method of infrared bounds and partial-integration formulas, we prove that there is a chiral phase transition in four-dimensional strongly coupled lattice gauge theory with gauge group U(N) and staggered fermions for all N ~< 5.
