Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Symmetries in Physics are one of the main aspects of the construction of field theories. The very definition of an elementary particle is related to the concept of symmetry, supersymmetric theories are built based on the Poincaré group, and the form of particle interactions is determined by symmetries.
As important as symmetries are the violations of them. The asymmetry between matter and antimatter in the universe is still an unsolved mystery. Also, although theories possess symmetries at classical levels and are built according to them, quantum corrections can break them. The quantum breaking of a classical symmetry is called an anomaly, and it is related to observable processes. From a physical point of view, it is mandatory to find out if the anomaly is indeed real or spurious. Furthermore, it is interesting from an experimental point of view to check how good the symmetries that we take for granted are. For instance, the Standard Model Extension is a symmetry breaking framework that makes it possible to test how good Lorentz and CPT symmetries are by means of several precise experiments.
This Special Issue cover several aspects of asymmetries/symmetries in particle physics, including supersymmetry, anomalies in quantum field theory, Lorentz and CPT violation, spontaneous symmetry breaking, and baryogenesis, among others.

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.
