Recent Examples on the Web
With this in mind, the authors set out to prove scale invariance first, believing that rotational invariance would be the most difficult symmetry and knowing that translational invariance was simple enough and wouldn’t require its own proof.

Allison Whitten, Wired, 11 July 2021
The physicists had required a proof in three steps, one for each symmetry present in conformal invariance: translational, rotational and scale invariance.

Now, with rotational invariance down, Duminil-Copin and his colleagues have their sights set on scale invariance, their original target.

The lower-dimensional theory also had an additional symmetry—conformal invariance—where the physical laws don't change for all transformations of spacetime that preserve angles.
—Anil Ananthaswamy, Scientific American, 1 Mar. 2023
This conditional nature of stability means that psychological research cannot be a search for ever-lasting invariance (laws), but only for more or less local and temporary regularity.

Similarly, Noether’s theorem shows that symmetry under rotation, or rotational invariance, leads to the conservation of angular momentum, which measures how much an object is rotating.

The lower-dimensional theory also had an additional symmetry, called conformal invariance, where the physical laws don’t change for all transformations of spacetime that preserve angles.
—Anil Ananthaswamy, Scientific American, 30 Nov. 2022
The original Laughlin's pump argument, which used adiabatic evolution and gauge invariance to deduce a return to the original state of the system after one cycle, did not work with QAC.
