Ergodicity Breaking,We have seen earlier that many phases of condensed matter in thermal equilibrium are associated with the spontaneous breakdown of symmetry. In this chapter we deal with a more general concept called . [8.1]. It would seem that states of matter like glass, quasicrystals, etc. represent examples of ergodicity breaking.

There is a parallel of sorts in condensed matter physics: although the noncrystalline state is widely prevalent (especially in the living world), it is the crystalline state that has until now commanded the lion’s share of attention from physicists. The reason is simply the geometric r
