- Abstract: The Galilean symmetry and the Poincare symmetry are usually taken as the
fundamental (relativity) symmetries for `nonrelativistic' and `relativistic'
physics, respectively, quantum or classical. Our fully group theoretical
formulation approach to the theories, together with its natural companion of
mechanics from symplectic geometry, ask for different perspectives. We present
a sketch of the full picture here, emphasizing aspects which are different from
the more familiar picture. The letter summarizes our earlier presented
formulation while focusing on the part beyond, with an adjusted, or corrected,
identification of the basic representations having the (Newtonian) mass as a
Casimir invariant. Discussion on the limitations of the Poincare symmetry for
the purpose is particularly elaborated.

Entanglement asymmetry is a measure of symmetry breaking in quantum subsystems.

gravity [75.38606213726906]
First-class phase-space constraints may be relaxed if we interpret them as fixing the values of new degrees of freedom.
This idea goes back to Fock and Stueckelberg, leading to restrictions of the gauge symmetry of a theory.
In particular, in the case of canonical quantum gravity, the Fock--Stueckelberg approach is relevant to the so-called problem of time.

We then extend this theory to relativistic theories on integrals using the framework of second order geometry.

Quantum systems governed by non-Hermitian Hamiltonians with $PT$ symmetry are special in having real energy eigenvalues bounded below and unitary time evolution.
We show how $PT$ symmetry may allow interpretations that evade ghosts and instabilities present in an interpretation of the theory within a Hermitian framework.

We study the phenomenon of transmission across the singularity that separates the two half-cylinders.
All the local realisations of the free (Laplace-Beltrami) quantum Hamiltonian are examined as non-equivalent protocols of transmission/reflection.
This allows to comprehend the distinguished status of the so-called bridging' transmission protocol previously identified in the literature.
