• Abstract: We introduce the notion of Mixed Symmetry Quantum Phase Transition (MSQPT) as singularities in the transformation of the lowest-energy state properties of a system of identical particles inside each permutation symmetry sector $\mu$, when some Hamiltonian control parameters $\lambda$ are varied. We use a three-level Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick (LMG) model, with $U(3)$ dynamical symmetry, to exemplify our construction. After reviewing the construction of $U(3)$ unirreps using Young tableaux and Gelfand basis, we firstly study the case of a finite number $N$ of three-level atoms, showing that some precursors (fidelity-susceptibility, level population, etc.) of MSQPTs appear in all permutation symmetry sectors. Using coherent (quasi-classical) states of $U(3)$ as variational states, we compute the lowest-energy density for each sector $\mu$ in the thermodynamic $N\to\infty$ limit. Extending the control parameter space by $\mu$, the phase diagram exhibits four distinct quantum phases in the $\lambda$-$\mu$ plane that coexist at a quadruple point. The ground state of the whole system belongs to the fully symmetric sector $\mu=1$ and shows a four-fold degeneracy, due to the spontaneous breakdown of the parity symmetry of the Hamiltonian. The restoration of this discrete symmetry leads to the formation of four-component Schr\"odinger cat states.

Some novel phases characterized by the phase differences between the polarized cavity field or the atomic spin excitation and the Raman laser are found analytically. It is found that besides the continuous $U(1)$ and discrete $mathbbZ$ symmetries, the system also exhibits two reflection symmetries $sigma_v$s, a central symmetry $C$ in the abstract position-momentum representation, and a discrete reflection-time symmetry
