What symmetry is related to Nambu's discovery?

  • Geometric Symmetry

  • Chiral Symmetry

  • Reflective Symmetry

  • Rotational Symmetry

Answer

Chiral symmetry, a symmetry related to Nambu's discovery, refers to the invariance of a physical system under transformations that change the handedness of its components. In other words, the system behaves identically under mirror reflections. Nambu's work on chiral symmetry was instrumental in understanding the behavior of subatomic particles, particularly in the context of strong interactions.
