Phonons as Goldstone Bosons
read the original abstract
The implications of the hidden, spontaneously broken symmetry for the properties of the sound waves of a solid are analyzed. Although the discussion does not go beyond standard wisdom, it presents some of the known results from a different perspective. In particular, I argue that, as a consequence of the hidden symmetry, the equations of motion for a sound wave necessarily contain nonlinear terms, describing phonon-phonon scattering and emphasize the analogy with the low energy theorems for pion-pion scattering.

A flat-band perspective on the boson peak in amorphous solids
The boson peak arises from accumulation of vibrational spectral weight in a narrow frequency window that is only weakly dependent on wavevector, manifesting as a flat band in the dynamical structure factor rather than...

Minimal superfluid vortices in chiral perturbation theory
Leading order chiral perturbation theory yields the minimal energy condition for vortex nucleation in the pion condensed phase, with vortices carrying quantized angular momentum and self-confining pions.
