Description
Spontaneous breakdown of continuous symmetry is investigated in field theories in maximally symmetric curved spacetime. It is shown that Coleman's theorem precluding the existence of Nambu-Goldstone bosons in two-dimensional flat spacetime gets modified in curved spacetime, depending in different manners on the sign of spacetime curvature.
