Special Issue Information

Dear colleagues,

The issue is devoted to the mathematical apparatus of the quantum and classical theory of symmetry in various aspects of its manifestation. It is the quantum theory, which includes the intrinsic and composite moments of elementary and composite particles, four-dimensional rotations arising in the Lorentz transformations, discrete symmetry transformations of reflection and inversion, and regularities of permutation symmetries in systems of identical particles; it is also a classical theory including regularities of symmetry associated with various models of turbulence in gas dynamics, hydrodynamics and plasma dynamics. Various aspects of symmetry in crystals and exotic condensed media such as liquid crystals, fullerenes, and grave and decanter will also undoubtedly be considered. Being universal, the apparatus is widely used in atomic and molecular physics, nuclear physics, astrophysics and the theory of elementary particles. Its application is necessary in calculations of atomic, molecular and nuclear structures, in calculating the energies of the ground and excited states of quantum systems, including fine and hyperfine splitting of levels, in calculating the probabilities of radiative transitions and decays, cross sections for reactions and scattering, and for describing the angular distributions and polarizations of particles. The apparatus is widely used in solving practical problems in the field of quantum chemistry, molecular and plasma kinetics and microelectronics, spintronic, molecular, atomic and nuclear spectroscopy.

This Special Issue of the journal Symmetry is dedicated to the revival of an important scientific and educational center that has provided fundamental physical and mathematical training in the education of physicists over the past hundred years: the Physics and Mechanics Institute (PhysMech).

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
