The counting of Nambu-Goldstone bosons in a non-Hermitian field theory
arXiv:1911.03230 · doi:10.1140/epjc/s10052-020-08434-5
Abstract
We demonstrate that the number of Nambu-Goldstone bosons is always equal to the number of conserved currents inside the scenario of non-Hermitian field theories with spontaneous symmetry breaking. This eliminates the redundancies which normally appears in Hermitian field theories, specifically when the Lagrangian under analysis violates explicitly the Lorentz symmetry.
