Discrete Space-Time Symmetries Xiao-Gang He USTC, Nanakai, and NTU 1. Discrete Space-Time Symmetries Symmetries : important for understanding the laws of Nature. -Simplify problems, classify complicated systems, determine conservation laws, even determine the dynamics of interactions. * SU(3) flavor symmetry - Quark model and etc. *Continuous space-time symmetries, relativity (translational and rotational transformation) - energy-momentum conservations. *Gauge symmetry - electroweak and strong interactions. * General Relativity. -Some symmetries are exact and some are broken.
