Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Pauli Exclusion Principle, as a manifestation of the spin–statistics relation, is deeply connected to space–time symmetries. Possible violations or deformations of these symmetries may refect in violations of the Pauli Exclusion Principle. Recent experiments set strong limits on the probability that the principle gets violated. In this issue we shall focus on the relation between various symmetries and their possible violations or deformations and the consequences of the Pauli Exclusion Principle for various classes of fermions, such as (but not only): electrons, nucleons and neutrinos. In particular, we shall consider the CPT and Lorentz symmetries, as well as noncommutative theories, also inspired from quantum gravity scenarios. Recent experimental results from experiments searching for small violations of the Pauli Exclusion Principle will be discussed, together with the limits they impose on symmetries/asymmetries embedded in our theories about nature and the universe.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
