abstract

We study conformal field theories with finite group symmetries with spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) phases that persist at all temperatures. We work with two $\lambda \phi^4$ theories coupled through their mass terms. The two $\lambda \phi^4$ theories are chosen to preserve either the cubic symmetry group or the tetrahedral symmetry group. A one-loop calculation in the $4-\epsilon$ expansion shows that there exist infinitely many fixed points that can host an all temperature SSB phase. An analysis of the renormalization group (RG) stability matrix of these fixed points, reveals that their spectrum contains at least three relevant operators. In other words, these fixed points are tetracritical points.

    Redundant operators motivate spectral gaps that block accidental symmetry enhancement, yielding the first bootstrap island for the 3D cubic CFT that excludes the O(3) model.

    New analytic constructions yield quantum lattice models with continuous symmetry breaking and chiral topological order at arbitrarily high temperatures via entropic stabilization.

  3. Spontaneous Space-Time Parity Breaking Without Thermal Restoration

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A 2+1 dimensional QFT is constructed whose parity symmetry is unbroken at zero temperature but spontaneously breaks at all sufficiently high temperatures.
