Abstract
We introduce the effective Lagrangian with spontaneously broken density in the Sethna-Sachdev-Nelson formula, and propose one explanation for the increase of the positron diffusion lengthL + in the liquid metal phase with temperature. It is shown that the effective mass of the positron in the liquid metal phase will decrease due to the restoration of the spontaneously broken density around the positron, when temperature increases.
