  <body><![CDATA[<h5>School of Physics Nonlinear Science &amp; Mathematical Physics Series:&nbsp; Dr. Al Shapere, The University of Kentucky</h5><p>I introduce a class of dynamical systems which exhibit motion in their lowest-energy states and thus spontaneously break time-translation symmetry. Their Lagrangians have nonstandard kinetic terms and their Hamiltonians are multivalued functions of momentum, yet they are perfectly consistent and amenable to quantization. &nbsp;Possible&nbsp; applications to condensed matter systems&nbsp;and cosmology will be discussed.</p>]]></body>
