No one would call anything not involving a local gauge symmetry a “Higgs mechanism”, but maybe people do call the amplitude fluctuations in the order parameter a “Higgs mode” more generally, though this usage is a bit misleading because it erroneously suggests a connection with a “Higgs mechanism”, which is basically the point Pekker and Varma are making. | |
