Symmetry and Phase Transitions in Nuclei
FRANCESCO IACHELLO, Matko Milin, Tamara Nikšić +2 more
The role of symmetry in (shape) quantum phase transitions (QPT) in nuclei is briefly reviewed. Finite size scaling is discussed. The concepts of excited state quantum phase transitions (ESQPT) and of critical matter are introduced. The ab initio theory of QPT is mentioned.
