摘要翻译：
对称性是许多组合问题的本质，包括布尔可满足性(SAT)和约束规划(CP)。在SAT中，对称破缺谓词的识别是解决难题的一种有效的方法。SAT中SBPs的识别近年来得到了很大的改进，产生了更紧凑的SBPs和更有效的算法。SBPs的识别也被应用于伪布尔(PB)约束，表明对称破缺也是一种有效的PB约束识别技术。本文进一步扩展了SBPs的应用，证明了SBPs可以在最大可满足性(MaxSAT)中识别和使用，也可以在其最著名的变体中识别和使用，包括部分MaxSAT、加权MaxSAT、加权部分MaxSAT。与SAT和PB一样，MaxSAT和变体的对称破缺谓词被证明对具有代表性的问题域是有效的，允许解决当前最先进的MaxSAT求解器无法解决的问题实例。

分类描述：Covers all aspects of logic in computer science, including finite model theory, logics of programs, modal logic, and program verification. Programming language semantics should have Programming Languages as the primary subject area. Roughly includes material in ACM Subject Classes D.2.4, F.3.1, F.4.0, F.4.1, and F.4.2; some material in F.4.3 (formal languages) may also be appropriate here, although Computational Complexity is typically the more appropriate subject area.

英文摘要：
  Symmetries are intrinsic to many combinatorial problems including Boolean Satisfiability (SAT) and Constraint Programming (CP). In SAT, the identification of symmetry breaking predicates (SBPs) is a well-known, often effective, technique for solving hard problems. The identification of SBPs in SAT has been the subject of significant improvements in recent years, resulting in more compact SBPs and more effective algorithms. The identification of SBPs has also been applied to pseudo-Boolean (PB) constraints, showing that symmetry breaking can also be an effective technique for PB constraints. This paper extends further the application of SBPs, and shows that SBPs can be identified and used in Maximum Satisfiability (MaxSAT), as well as in its most well-known variants, including partial MaxSAT, weighted MaxSAT and weighted partial MaxSAT. As with SAT and PB, symmetry breaking predicates for MaxSAT and variants are shown to be effective for a representative number of problem domains, allowing solving problem instances that current state of the art MaxSAT solvers could not otherwise solve.
