A Schwinger-Keldysh effective field theory for type-B Goldstones is constructed via near-diagonal geometry and a transgression Berry term, with dissipative spectra for the ferromagnet and an SU(2)×U(1) sigma model.

abstract
We analyze the effects of finite chemical potential on spontaneous breaking of internal symmetries within the class of relativistic field theories described by the linear sigma model. Special attention is paid to the emergence of ``abnormal'' Goldstone bosons with quadratic dispersion relation. We show that their presence is tightly connected to nonzero density of the Noether charges, and formulate a general counting rule. The general results are demonstrated on an SU(3)xU(1) invariant model with an SU(3)-sextet scalar field, which describes one of the color-superconducting phases of QCD.

Schwinger-Keldysh effective field theory of type-B Goldstone: near-diagonal geometry and Berry term
A Schwinger-Keldysh effective field theory for type-B Goldstones is constructed via near-diagonal geometry and a transgression Berry term, with dissipative spectra for the ferromagnet and an SU(2)×U(1) sigma model.
