Description
I will describe a generic phenomenon that arises in systems supporting transitions between distinct topological states, together with the corresponding fermionic zero modes. In particular, I will argue for the formation of a condensate of composite fermion operators that spontaneously breaks an anomalous symmetry. The phase of the condensate gives rise to a collective, propagating particle state, which is predicted to exist in the electroweak sector of the Standard Model, in the simplest supersymmetric extensions of General Relativity.
