The Universe as a Nonuniform Lattice in the Finite-Dimensional Hypercube II.Simple Cases of Symmetry Breakdown and Restoration

Abstract

This paper continues a study of field theories specified for the nonuniform lattice in the finite-dimensional hypercube with the use of the earlier described deformation parameters. The paper is devoted to spontaneous breakdown and restoration of symmetry in simple quantum-field theories with scalar fields. It is demonstrated that an appropriate deformation opens up new possibilities for symmetry breakdown and restoration. To illustrate, at low energies it offers high-accuracy reproducibility of the same results as with a nondeformed theory. In case of transition from low to higher energies and vice versa it gives description for new types of symmetry breakdown and restoration depending on the rate of the deformation parameter variation in time, and indicates the critical points of the previously described lattice associated with a symmetry restoration. Besides, such a deformation enables one to find important constraints on the initial model parameters having an explicit physical meaning.
