  • We consider electronic systems with a spontaneously broken continuous symmetry. The scattering vertex between electrons and Goldstone modes is calculated over the entire Brillouin zone using the random phase approximation. This calculation reveals two things: (1) electrons always couple to both $ϕ$ and $\partial_t ϕ$, where $ϕ$ is the Goldstone field, and (2) quasi-particles in a state with continuous symmetry breaking have to be defined in a rotating frame, which locally follows the fluctuations of the order parameter. The implications of these findings for electron spectral functions in both symmetry-broken and thermally disordered systems are discussed, and the examples of anti-ferromagnetism in the Hubbard model and spin spiral order in the three-band model are worked out in detail.
