the appropriate geometrical framework to which non-relativistic field theories couple. We …

Chiral topological elasticity and fracton order

A Gromov - Physical review letters, 2019 - APS
We analyze the “higher rank” gauge theories that capture some of the phenomenology of the
fracton order. It is shown that these theories lose gauge invariance when an arbitrarily weak …
