Explore the intricate relationship between soft theorems and spontaneous symmetry breaking in this 39-minute theoretical physics lecture delivered at the Galileo Galilei Institute. Delve into advanced concepts in quantum field theory as Kevin Nguyen examines how soft theorems, which describe the behavior of particles with vanishing momentum, connect to the phenomenon of spontaneous symmetry breaking where systems adopt configurations that break their underlying symmetries. Gain insights into the mathematical frameworks and physical principles that govern these fundamental aspects of modern theoretical physics, including their applications in particle physics and cosmology.
