About: Accidental symmetry

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

In physics, particularly in renormalization theory, an accidental symmetry is a symmetry which is present in a renormalizable theory only because the terms which break it have too high a dimension to appear in the Lagrangian. In the standard model, the lepton number and the baryon number are accidental symmetries, while in lattice models, rotational invariance is accidental.
