Abstract
Symmetry breaking is a situation which is searched for in almost every bran ch of science, since it allows for a regime in which the system under study exhibits new properties. We have found a range in the (magnetic field)-(co upling parameter) plane where the ground state for the Schrodinger and Ampe re coupled equations in a cylindric domain does not have axial symmetry.
