contents We present a theory characterizing the phases emerging as a consequence of continuous symmetry-breaking in quantum and classical systems. In symmetry-breaking phases, dynamics is restricted due to the existence of a set of conserved charges derived from the order parameter of the phase transition. Their expectation values are determined by the privileged direction appearing in the ordered phase as a consequence of symmetry breaking, and thus they can be used to determine whether this direction is well defined or it has quantum fluctuations. Our theory is numerically exemplified via the two-dimensional limit of the vibron model, a fully connected system invariant under a rotation operator which generates the continuous symmetry-breaking.
