How to rigorously argue that the superposition state is unstable in spontaneously symmetry b...
In quantum mechanics, the definition of symmetry breaking is nontrivial. See What is spontaneous symmetry breaking in QUANTUM systems?
Let me briefly summarize that question:
In spin-$1/2$ quantum …

Why does Josephson's identity $d\nu=2-\alpha$ only hold for mean field theory in dimension $4$?
For phase transition, when approaching the critical point, the heat capacity $C \propto \tau^{-\alpha}$ and correlation length $\xi\propto \tau^{-\nu}$, with $\tau := \frac{T-T_\mathrm{c}}{T_\mathrm{c …

Condensed Matter or High Energy examples in which higher-loop $n\ge 2$ correction can have i...
In QFT for high energy or condensed matter, tree level diagram means classical result or mean field. Loop diagram means quantum correction or (thermal or quantum) fluctuation above mean field. In most …

What's the relation between Wilson Renormalization Group (RG) in Statistical Mechanics and Q...
What's the relation between Wilson Renormalization Group(RG) in Statistical Mechanics and QFT RG? For easier to compare, I choose scalar $\phi^4$ in both cases.
Wilson RG:
Given $\phi^4$ model,
$$Z …

Why is classical spin the spin-$\infty$ representation of $SO(3)$, not the spin-$1$ represen...
Given a classical spin model,
$$H=\mathbf{S}_1\cdot \mathbf{S}_2\tag{1}$$
where $\mathbf{S}_i=(\sin\theta_i \cos\phi_i,\sin\theta_i \sin\phi_i,\cos\theta_i), i=1,2$ is the classical spin.
Given a qu …
