We discuss symmetry breaking quantum phase transitions on the oft studied Bethe lattice in the context of the ferromagnetic scalar spherical model or, equivalently, the infinite $N_f$ limit of ferromagnetic models with $O(N_f)$ symmetry. We show that the approach to quantum criticality is characterized by the vanishing of a gap to just the global modes so that {it all} local correlation functions continue to exhibit massive behavior. This behavior persists into the broken symmetry phase even as the order parameter develops an expectation value and thus there are no massless Goldstone bosons in the spectrum. We relate this feature to a spectral property of the graph Laplacian shared by the set of `expander graphs, and argue that our results apply to symmetry breaking transitions on such graphs quite generally.

We study the viability of spontaneous breaking of continuous symmetries in theories with Lifshitz scaling, according to the number of space-time dimensions $d$ and the dynamical scaling $z$. Then, the answer to the question in the title is no (quantu m field theoretically) and yes (holographically). With field theory tools, we show that symmetry breaking is indeed prevented by large quantum fluctuations when $dleq z+1$, as expected from scaling arguments. With holographic tools, on the other hand, we find nothing that prevents the existence of a vacuum expectation value. This difference is made possible by the large $N$ limit of holography. An important subtlety in this last framework is that in order to get a proper description of a conserved current, renormalization of the temporal mode of the bulk vector requires an alternative quantization. We also comment on the implications of turning on temperature.
We study numerically the spatial dynamics of light in periodic square lattices in the presence of a Kerr term, emphasizing the peculiarities stemming from the nonlinearity. We find that, under rather general circumstances, the phase pattern of the st able ground state depends on the character of the nonlinearity: the phase is spatially uniform if it is defocusing whereas in the focusing case, it presents a chess board pattern, with a difference of $pi$ between neighboring sites. We show that the lowest lying perturbative excitations can be described as perturbations of the phase and that finite-sized structures can act as tunable metawaveguides for them. The tuning is made by varying the intensity of the light that, because of the nonlinearity, affects the dynamics of the phase fluctuations. We interpret the results using methods of condensed matter physics, based on an effective description of the optical system. This interpretation sheds new light on the phenomena, facilitating the understanding of individual systems and leading to a framework for relating different problems with the same symmetry. In this context, we show that the perturbative excitations of the phase are Nambu-Goldstone bosons of a spontaneously broken $U(1)$ symmetry.

We study the thermodynamic properties of spin systems with bond-disorder on small-world hypergraphs, obtained by superimposing a one-dimensional Ising chain onto a random Bethe graph with p-spin interactions. Using transfer-matrix techniques, we deri ve fixed-point equations describing the relevant order parameters and the free energy, both in the replica symmetric and one step replica symmetry breaking approximation. We determine the static and dynamic ferromagnetic transition and the spinglass transition within replica symmetry for all temperatures, and demonstrate corrections to these results when one step replica symmetry breaking is taken into account. The results obtained are in agreement with Monte-Carlo simulations.
Statistical analysis of the eigenfunctions of the Anderson tight-binding model with on-site disorder on regular random graphs strongly suggests that the extended states are multifractal at any finite disorder. The spectrum of fractal dimensions $f(al pha)$ defined in Eq.(3), remains positive for $alpha$ noticeably far from 1 even when the disorder is several times weaker than the one which leads to the Anderson localization, i.e. the ergodicity can be reached only in the absence of disorder. The one-particle multifractality on the Bethe lattice signals on a possible inapplicability of the equipartition law to a generic many-body quantum system as long as it remains isolated.

We consider the Ising model on the Bethe lattice with aperiodic modulation of the couplings, which has been studied numerically in Phys. Rev. E 77, 041113 (2008). Here we present a relevance-irrelevance criterion and solve the critical behavior exact ly for marginal aperiodic sequences. We present analytical formulae for the continuously varying critical exponents and discuss a relationship with the (surface) critical behavior of the aperiodic quantum Ising chain.
