Abstract: The phenomenon of spontaneous symmetry breaking is well known. It is known to be accompanied with the appearance of the `Goldstone boson'. In this paper we construct the canonical coordinates of the Goldstone boson, for quantum spin systems with short range as well as long range interactions.

Review text

The authors study spontaneous symmetry breaking of a continuous symmetry group in condensed matter homogeneous many particles systems with short range as well as long range interactions. They construct the fluctuation operators of the generator of a broken symmetry and of the order parameter and prove that these operators form a canonical pair. In the case of long range interactions, the authors prove that the appearance of a plasmon frequency is a natural phenomenon corresponding to the spectrum of that canonical pair, while for the short range interactions in the ground state, the phenomenon of squeezing of the fluctuation operator of the generator of the broken symmetry is found.
