# Entanglement Suppression and Emergent Symmetries of Strong Interactions

## TL;DR

This paper explores how entanglement suppression in the strong interaction $S$-matrix correlates with emergent spin-flavor symmetries, suggesting a fundamental link that constrains nuclear forces in dense matter.

## Contribution

It proposes that dynamical entanglement suppression underlies the emergence of approximate symmetries in low-energy baryon interactions, offering new insights into strong force behavior.

## Key findings

- Entanglement suppression correlates with approximate spin-flavor symmetries.
- Emergent symmetries include Wigner $SU(4)$ and $SU(16)$ for different flavors.
- Suggests entanglement suppression constrains nuclear and hypernuclear forces.

## Abstract

Entanglement suppression in the strong interaction $S$-matrix is shown to be correlated with approximate spin-flavor symmetries that are observed in low-energy baryon interactions, the Wigner $SU(4)$ symmetry for two flavors and an $SU(16)$ symmetry for three flavors. We conjecture that dynamical entanglement suppression is a property of the strong interactions in the infrared, giving rise to these emergent symmetries and providing powerful constraints on the nature of nuclear and hypernuclear forces in dense matter.
