Defining Time Crystals via Representation Theory
英文摘要：
Time crystals are proposed states of matter which spontaneously break time translation symmetry. There is no settled definition of such states. We offer a new definition which follows the traditional recipe for Wigner symmetries and order parameters. Supplementing our definition with a few plausible assumptions we find that a) systems with time independent Hamiltonians should not exhibit TTSB while b) the recently studied $π$ spin glass/Floquet time crystal can be viewed as breaking a global internal symmetry and as breaking time translation symmetry as befits its two names.
