Macroconstraints from Microsymmetries

Abstract

The dynamics governing the evolution of a many body system is constrained by a nonabelian local symmetry. We obtain explicit forms of the global macroscopic condition assuring that at the microscopic level the evolution respects the overall symmetry constraint.

Macroconstraints from Microsymmetries of Macrosystems

L. Turko, Johann Rafelski A

The dynamics governing the evolution of a many body system is constrained by a nonabelian local symmetry. We obtain a general form of the global macroscopic conditions assuring that at the microscopic level the evolution respects the overall symmetry constraint. These conditions does not depend on detailed dynamics of the system. It is shown that a nonabelian internal symmetry leads to the new subsidiary condition imposed on the system. A structure of constraints is analysed.

Deterministic Instability and the Destruction of Macroscopic Trajectories Under Fixed Constraints

Marriam Naeem

Deterministic microscopic laws constrain physical systems through conservation laws and boundary conditions, yet macroscopic evolution routinely exhibits irreversible collapse, destruction, and path dependence. We analyze deterministic classical and quantum systems admitting multiple metastable macroscopic trajectories under fixed global constraints and show that deterministic dynamics generally underdetermine macroscopic history. We introduce a distinction between constraint-defined macroscopic equivalence classes, fixed by invariant quantities, and metastable macroscopic trajectories, defined by dynamical stability. Using stability and basin-of-attraction arguments, we characterize collapse as a deterministic loss of metastability in which an entire macroscopic trajectory becomes dynamically inaccessible without violation of microscopic reversibility or conservation laws. Irreversible destruction corresponds to elimination of physically realizable paths rather than loss of information or coarse-grained inaccessibility. We show that explanations based solely on coarse-graining or decoherence are insufficient to account for such trajectory elimination, as they preserve admissibility of erased histories. In contrast, instability-driven trajectory destruction constitutes an ontic dynamical process, directly realized in many-body and condensed matter systems. The framework provides a unified account of irreversible macroscopic change and causal differentiation within deterministic dynamics, without invoking stochasticity, modified laws, or observer-dependent mechanisms. Deterministic laws constrain admissible macroscopic states, while instability and metastability govern the physically realizable histories connecting them.

New symmetries in spin chains and quantum field theories

Zhabin, Aleksandr

This thesis studies Quantum Field Theories (QFTs) and many-body systems that have quantum groups as global internal symmetries. We establish that quantum groups can act as genuine global symmetries, constraining the spectrum, correlation functions and dynamics. Operators that transform naturally under this symmetry are shown to be non-local, living at the ends of topological lines that carry some novel properties. These properties are illustrated by explicit examples including spin chains and their field-theoretic continuum limit. We solve the continuum theory in two ways: first, by using constraints coming from quantum group symmetry together with conformal bootstrap techniques; second, by applying the Coulomb gas formalism. We further show that this symmetry is not an artifact of integrability: it survives as a global symmetry even when integrability is broken and the system becomes chaotic. Finally, we observe that it governs late-time hydrodynamic transport, as manifest in the slow decay of the transverse spin autocorrelation function. Altogether, these results position quantum groups as a new and robust class of symmetry governing the physics of QFTs and many-body systems.
