Some consequences of the already proven convexity of Legendre transformations are
analyzed. Different possible behaviors of a system are considered; in particular, degeneracy
and a phase transition. A generalization of Goldstone's theorem [1, 2] is proved:
in every theory with continuous degeneracy of the solution, zero-mass particles are present.
Spontaneous breaking of continuous symmetry automatically leads to Continuous
degeneracy, which explains why zero-mass particles arise in theories with broken symmetry.
