High Energy Theory Seminar
Time Crystals
I consider a class of simple classical dynamical systems which exhibit motion in their lowest-energy states. Their Lagrangians have wrong-sign kinetic terms and their Hamiltonians are multivalued functions of momentum, yet they are amenable to quantization. Their field theoretical generalizations may have applications in condensed matter physics and cosmology.
