Advance in dynamical spontaneous symmetry breaking

Recently, a condition is derived for a nontrivial solution of the Schwinger-Dyson equation to be accompanied by a Goldstone bound state in a special quantum electrodynamics model. This result is extended and a new form of the Goldstone theorem is obtained in a general quantum field theory framework.Comment: 3 pages, LaTeX, no figure

Kostant homology formulas for oscillator modules of Lie superalgebras

We provide a systematic approach to obtain formulas for characters and Kostant ${\mathfrak u}$-homology groups of the oscillator modules of the finite dimensional general linear and ortho-symplectic superalgebras, via Howe dualities for infinite dimensional Lie algebras. Specializing these Lie superalgebras to Lie algebras, we recover, in a new way, formulas for Kostant homology groups of unitarizable highest weight representations of Hermitian symmetric pairs. In addition, two new reductive dual pairs related to the above-mentioned ${\mathfrak u}$-homology computation are worked out
