Description
We present some comments intended to bring out simply and more explicitly the physics behind the rigorously proven results on the absence of continuous symmetry breaking in (1 + 1) dimensions at T = 0 and (2 + 1) dimensions for T > 0. It is also pointed out within a model that a massless boson is present, in a sense defined in the text, even though symmetry breaking disappears
