Phases with modular ground states for symmetry breaking by rank 3 and rank 2 antisymmetric tensor scalars

Working with explicit examples given by the 56 representation in SU(8), and the 10 representation in SU(5), we show that symmetry breaking of a group G⊃G1×G2 by a scalar in a rank three or two antisymmetric tensor representation leads to a number of distinct modular ground states. For these broken s...
