Chemical potential plays an important role for

the number and dispersion of NG bosons

One of the most important aspects of SSB

The appearance of massless Nambu-Goldstone (NG) bosons

Motivation: How many numbers of Nambu-Goldstone (NG) bosons appear?

Relations between the dispersions and the number of NG bosons?

Nielsen-Chadha Theorem Nielsen and Chadha(1976)

• analyticity of dispersion of type-II• spectral decomposition

Classification of NG bosons by dispersions

E~p2n+1 : type-I, E~p2n : type-II

Nielsen-Chadha inequality

NI + 2 NII ≧ NBG

All previous examples satisfy Nielsen-Chadha inequality

SummaryWe analyzed Higgs Mechanism at finite chemical potential with type-II NG boson with Rx gauge

Result: 　・Total physical degrees of freedom correctly conserved -- Not only the massless NG bosons (type I & II) but also the massive mode induced by the chemical potential became unphysical 　 ・Models: gauged SU(2) model, Glashow-Weinberg-Salam type gauged U(2) model, gauged SU(3) model Future Directions: ・Higgs Mechanism with type-II NG bosons in nonrelativistic systems (ultracold atoms in optical lattice)?

-- What is the relation between the Algebraic method (Nambu 2002) and the Nielsen Chadha theorem？

・Algebraic method: counting NG bosons without deriving dispersions ・Nielsen-Chadha theorem: counting NG bosons from dispersions
