Time crystals are a class of systems which exhibit motion in their lowest-energy states. Their Lagrangians have unconventional kinetic terms and their Hamiltonians are multivalued functions of momentum, yet they are amenable to quantization. Field theoretic generalizations may have applications in condensed matter physics and cosmology.Refs: arXiv:1202.2537, arXiv:1207.2677, arXiv:1210.3545.
