Several of them can break any symmetry shared by the Hamiltonian and initial and final states. We describe a soluble model where, in particular, time reversal and parity breakings occur. Such breakings account for important properties of propagation amplitudes.8 pages, latex (admin comment: figures omitted by author)Nuclear TheoryTime reversal and parity breaking by propagationtext
