Simplest phonons and pseudo-phonons in field theory
Abstract We study the emergence of Nambu–Goldstone modes due to broken translation symmetry in field theory. Purely spontaneous breaking yields a massless phonon which develops a mass upon introducing a perturbative explicit breaking. The pseudo-phonon mass agrees with Gell Mann-Oakes-Renner relatio...
