Abstract

We consider two theories undergoing the same spontaneous symmetry breaking pattern but with different representations of an order parameter under the Lorentz group. The effective description of the first theory includes a massive Nambu-Goldstone field, while in the second example it is absent. Based on this, we clarify the physical meaning of massive Nambu-Goldstone fields as non-radial modes needed to describe the fluctuations of an order parameter. The connection with the inverse Higgs phenomenon is also discussed.
