Rotational Symmetry Breaking in Multi-Matrix Models

Abstract

We consider a class of multi-matrix models with an action which is O(D) invariant, where D is the number of NxN Hermitian matrices X_μ, μ=1,...,D. The action is a function of all the elementary symmetric functions of the matrix $T_{\mu \nu }=Tr(X_{\mu }{X}_{\nu })/N$. We address the issue whether the O(D) symmetry is spontaneously broken when the size N of the matrices goes to infinity. The phase diagram in the space of the parameters of the model reveals the existence of a critical boundary where the O(D) symmetry is maximally broken.
