Conceivable helical form of light propagation may signify symmetry breaking similar to Jahn-Teller effects
arXiv:0803.0976
Abstract
We stress on the similarities between vibronic symmetry-breaking, due to the mixing of electronic states by phonons and leading to vibronic polarons along a helix, and the conceivable helical form of light propagation possibly arising from a symmetry breaking, due to the mixing of fermion states by photons.
