Superconductivity, broken gauge symmetry, and the Higgs mechanism

The association of broken symmetries with phase transitions is ubiquitous in condensed matter physics: crystals break translational symmetry, magnets break rotational symmetry, and superconductors break gauge symmetry. However, despite the frequency with which it is made, this last statement is a pa...
