Title: Spontaneous symmetry emergence in a Hermitian system without symmetry
Authors: T. T. Sergeev, E. S. Andrianov, A. A. Zyablovsky,
Abstract summary: We show that the system state can acquire symmetry, which is not inherent to the system Hamiltonian. The emergence of symmetry manifests itself in a change of the system dynamics, which can be interpreted as a phase transition in a Hermitian system without symmetry.

Abstract: Spontaneous symmetry breaking in systems with symmetry is a cornerstone phenomenon accompanying second-order phase transitions. Here, we predict the opposite phenomenon, namely, spontaneous symmetry emergence in a system without symmetry. On the example of two coupled oscillators interacting non-symmetrically with a set of oscillators whose frequencies uniformly fill a finite frequency range, we demonstrate that the system state can acquire symmetry, which is not inherent to the system Hamiltonian. The emergence of symmetry manifests itself in a change of the system dynamics, which can be interpreted as a phase transition in a Hermitian system without symmetry.

Controlling Symmetries and Quantum Criticality in the Anisotropic Coupled-Top Model [32.553027955412986]
We investigate the anisotropic coupled-top model, which describes the interactions between two large spins along both $x-$ and $y-$directions. We can manipulate the system's symmetry, inducing either discrete $Z$ or continuous U(1) symmetry. The framework provides an ideal platform for experimentally controlling symmetries and investigating associated physical phenomena.

Exceptional Points and Stability in Nonlinear Models of Population Dynamics having $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry [49.1574468325115]
We analyze models governed by the replicator equation of evolutionary game theory and related Lotka-Volterra systems of population dynamics. We study the emergence of exceptional points in two cases: (a) when the governing symmetry properties are tied to global properties of the models, and (b) when these symmetries emerge locally around stationary states.

Spontaneous PT-symmetry breaking transitions under the influence of noise in an optomechanical system [0.0]
Spontaneous symmetry breaking is a phenomenon of an alteration of a state symmetry without a change in the system symmetry. In this letter, we consider the behavior of an optomechanical system with an exceptional point under the influence of noise.

We show that strong symmetry always spontaneously breaks into the corresponding weak symmetry. We conjecture that this relation among strong-to-weak symmetry breaking, gapless modes, and symmetry-charge diffusion is general for continuous symmetries.

Three perspectives on entropy dynamics in a non-Hermitian two-state system [41.94295877935867]
entropy dynamics as an indicator of physical behavior in an open two-state system with balanced gain and loss is presented. We distinguish the perspective taken in utilizing the conventional framework of Hermitian-adjoint states from an approach that is based on biorthogonal-adjoint states and a third case based on an isospectral mapping.

Symmetry-Protected Scattering in Non-Hermitian Linear Systems [0.0]
The symmetry-protected scattering in non-Hermitian linear systems is investigated by employing the discrete symmetries that classify the random matrices. The odd-parity symmetries including the particle-hole symmetry, chiral symmetry, and sublattice symmetry cannot ensure the scattering to be symmetric. Our findings provide fundamental insights into symmetry and scattering ranging from condensed matter physics to quantum physics and optics.
