Fractons are a new type of quasiparticle which are immobile in isolation, but can often move by forming bound states. Fractons are found in a variety of physical settings, such as spin …
Symmetry plays a central role in quantum field theory. Recent developments include symmetries that act on defects and other subsystems, and symmetries that are categorical …
For over 100 years, the group-theoretic characterization of crystalline solids has provided the foundational language for diverse problems in physics and chemistry. However, the …
We show that the combination of charge and dipole conservation—characteristic of fracton systems—leads to an extensive fragmentation of the Hilbert space, which, in turn, can lead …
Abstract “Do Carroll particles move?” The answer depends on the characteristics of the particle such as its mass, spin, electric charge, and magnetic moment. A massive Carroll …
We study field theories with global dipole symmetries and gauge dipole symmetries. The famous Lifshitz theory is an example of a theory with a global dipole symmetry. We study in …
We explore non-invertible symmetries in two-dimensional lattice models with subsystem $\mathbb Z_2 $ symmetry. We introduce a subsystem $\mathbb Z_2 $-gauging procedure …
We study complex scalar theories with dipole symmetry and uncover a no-go theorem that governs the structure of such theories and which, in particular, reveals that a Gaussian …
We introduce new classes of hydrodynamic theories inspired by the recently discovered fracton phases of quantum matter. Fracton phases are characterized by elementary …
