We explore a nonlinear realization of the (2+1)-dimensional Lorentz symmetry with a constant vacuum expectation value of the second rank anti-symmetric tensor field. By means of the nonlinear realization, we obtain the low-energy effective action of the Nambu-Goldstone bosons for the spontaneous Lorentz symmetry breaking.

We study nonlinear vacuum electrodynamics in a first-order formulation proposed by Plebanski. By applying a Dirac constraint analysis, we derive an effective Hamiltonian, together with the equations of motion. We show that there exists a large class of potentials for which the effective Hamiltonian is bounded from below, while at the same time possessing stationary points in which the field strength acquires a nonzero vacuum expectation value. The associated spontaneous breaking of Lorentz symmetry can in principle be detected by coupling the model to a suitable external current, or to gravity. We show that the possible vacua can be classified in four classes. We study some of their properties, using explicit examples for illustration.
Due to the incompatibility of the nonlinear realization of superconformal symmetry and dilatation symmetry with the dilaton as the compensator field, in the present paper it shows an alternative mechanism of spontaneous breaking the N=2 superconformal symmetry to the N=0 case. By using the approach of nonlinear transformations it is found that it leads to a space-filling brane theory with Weyl scale W(1,3) symmetry. The dynamics of the resulting Weyl scale invariant brane, along with that of other Nambu-Goldstone fields, is derived in terms of the building blocks of the vierbein and the covariant derivative from the Maurer-Cartan oneforms. A general coupling of the matter fields localized on the brane world volume to these NG fields is also constructed.
Using the isomorphism $mathfrak{o}(3;mathbb{C})simeqmathfrak{sl}(2;mathbb{C})$ we develop a new simple algebraic technique for complete classification of quantum deformations (the classical $r$-matrices) for real forms $mathfrak{o}(3)$ and $mathfrak{o}(2,1)$ of the complex Lie algebra $mathfrak{o}(3;mathbb{C})$ in terms of real forms of $mathfrak{sl}(2;mathbb{C})$: $mathfrak{su}(2)$, $mathfrak{su}(1,1)$ and $mathfrak{sl}(2;mathbb{R})$. We prove that the $D=3$ Lorentz symmetry $mathfrak{o}(2,1)simeqmathfrak{su}(1,1)simeqmathfrak{sl}(2;mathbb{R})$ has three different Hopf-algebraic quantum deformations which are expressed in the simplest way by two standard $mathfrak{su}(1,1)$ and $mathfrak{sl}(2;mathbb{R})$ $q$-analogs and by simple Jordanian $mathfrak{sl}(2;mathbb{R})$ twist deformations. These quantizations are presented in terms of the quantum Cartan-Weyl generators for the quantized algebras $mathfrak{su}(1,1)$ and $mathfrak{sl}(2;mathbb{R})$ as well as in terms of quantum Cartesian generators for the quantized algebra $mathfrak{o}(2,1)$. Finaly, some applications of the deformed $D=3$ Lorentz symmetry are mentioned.
We present a model of gravity based on spontaneous Lorentz symmetry breaking. We start from a model with spontaneously broken symmetries for a massless 2-tensor with a linear kinetic term and a nonderivative potential, which is shown to be equivalent to linearized general relativity, with the Nambu-Goldstone (NG) bosons playing the role of the gravitons. We apply a bootstrap procedure to the model based on the principle of consistent coupling to the total energy energy-momentum tensor. Demanding consistent application of the bootstrap to the potential term severely restricts the form of the latter. Nevertheless, suitable potentials exists that permit stable vacua. It is shown that the resulting model is equivalent, at low energy, to General Relativity in a fixed gauge.
The dynamics of the non-Abelian vortex-string, which describes its low energy oscillations into the target $D=3+1$ spacetime as well as its orientations in the internal space, is derived by the approach of nonlinear realization. The resulting action correlating these two sectors is found to have an invariant synthesis form of the Nambu-Goto-${bf C}P^{N-1}$ model actions. Higher order corrections to the vortex actions are presented up to the order of quartic derivatives. General $p$-brane dynamics in terms of the internal symmetry breaking is also discussed.
