text: In other words, there is a degeneracy (infinite or finite depending on whether the symmetry is continuous or discrete) of distinct asymmetric solutions of identical (lowest) energy, the whole set of which maintains the symmetry of the theory.
text: It is essential that the symmetry be continuous; namely that it is specified by a set of parameters that can be varied continuously, and that the symmetry transformation can be arbitrarily close to the identity transformation (which does nothing to the system).
