SUMMARY:The Anderson-Higgs mechanism in Condensed Matter Physics\, Con
 densed Matter Theory Group Seminar\, Dushko Kuzmanovski & Saurabh Mait
 i
DESCRIPTION:With recent renewed interest in the Higgs mechanism after 
 the announced discovery of the Higgs particle by experimental groups a
 t the LHC\, it is instructive to remind oneself of its manifestations 
 in Condensed Matter Physics phenomena. We give a pedagogic overview of
  the topic of spontaneous symmetry breaking and the role of gauge symm
 etries. We also try to assess the role that P.W. Anderson had played i
 n the formulation of the mechanism from a historical perspective. Fina
 lly\, we put things into perspective of the electroweak gauge symmetry
  breaking.
