FUNDAMENTAL SYMMETRIES
Uniformity of space = momentum conservation P
Uniformity of time = energy conservation E
Isotropy of space = angular momentum conservation L
Relativistic invariance
Indistinguishability of identical particles
Relation between spin and statistics
Bose – Einstein (integer spin 0,1, …) Fermi – Dirac (half-integer spin 1/2, 3/2, …)

DISCRETE SYMMETRIES
Coordinate inversion P vectors and pseudovectors, scalars and pseudoscalars
Time reversal T microscopic reversibility, macroscopic irreversibility
Charge conjugation C excess of matter in our Universe
Conserved in strong and electromagnetic interactions

POSSIBLE NUCLEAR ENHANCEMENT of weak interactions
* Close levels of opposite parity = near the ground state (accidentally) = at high level density – very weak mixing? (statistical = chaotic) enhancement
* Kinematic enhancement
* Coherent mechanisms = deformation = parity doublets = collective modes
* Atomic effects
* Condensed matter effects

TYPICAL COMPUTATIONAL PROBLEM
DIAGONALIZATION OF HUGE MATRICES
(dimensions dramatically grow with the particle number)
Practically we need not more than few dozens – is the rest just useless garbage?
Process of progressive truncation –
* how to order?
* is it convergent?
* how rapidly?
* in what basis?
* which observables?

Parity nonconservation in fission
Correlation of neutron spin and momentum of fragmentsTransfer of elementary asymmetry to ALMOST MACROSCOPIC LEVEL – What about 2nd law of thermodynamics?
Statistical enhancement – “hot” stage ~
- mixing of parity doublets
Angular asymmetry – “cold” stage,
- fission channels, memory preserved
Complexity refers to the natural basis (mean field)

B. V. CHIRIKOV :
… The source of new information is always chaotic. Assuming farther that any creative activity, science including, is supposed to be such a source, we come to an interesting conclusion that any such activity has to be (partly!) chaotic. This is the creative side of chaos.
