A Chern-Simons theory for dipole symmetry

X Huang - SciPost Physics, 2023 - scipost.org
We present effective field theories for dipole symmetric topological matters that can be
described by the Chern-Simons theory. Unlike most studies using higher-rank gauge theory …

Fracton superfluid hydrodynamics

C Stahl, M Qi, P Glorioso, A Lucas, R Nandkishore - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
We examine the hydrodynamics of systems with spontaneously broken multipolar
symmetries using a systematic effective field theory. We focus on the simplest nontrivial …

Topologically stable ergodicity breaking from emergent higher-form symmetries in generalized quantum loop models

C Stahl, R Nandkishore, O Hart - SciPost Physics, 2024 - scipost.org
We present a set of generalized quantum loop models that provably exhibit topologically
stable ergodicity breaking. These results hold for both periodic and open boundary …

Ergodicity breaking provably robust to arbitrary perturbations

DT Stephen, O Hart, RM Nandkishore - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
We present a new route to ergodicity breaking via Hilbert space fragmentation that displays
an unprecedented level of robustness. Our construction relies on a single emergent …

A symmetry principle for gauge theories with fractons

Y Hirono, M You, S Angus, GY Cho - SciPost Physics, 2024 - scipost.org
Fractonic phases are new phases of matter that host excitations with restricted mobility. We
show that a certain class of gapless fractonic phases are realized as a result of spontaneous …

Filling constraints on translation invariant dipole conserving systems

FJ Burnell, S Moudgalya, A Prem - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
Systems with conserved dipole moment have drawn considerable interest in light of their
realization in recent experiments on tilted optical lattices. An important issue regarding such …

Anomalous hydrodynamics with triangular point group in dimensions

M Qi, J Guo, A Lucas - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
We present a theory of hydrodynamics for a vector U (1) charge in 2+ 1 dimensions, whose
rotational symmetry is broken to the point group of an equilateral triangle. We show that it is …

Exact Mazur bounds in the pair-flip model and beyond

O Hart - arXiv preprint arXiv:2308.00738, 2023 - arxiv.org
By mapping the calculation of Mazur bounds to the enumeration of walks on fractal
structures, we present exact bounds on the late-time behavior of spin autocorrelation …

Multipole groups and fracton phenomena on arbitrary crystalline lattices

D Bulmash, O Hart, R Nandkishore - SciPost Physics, 2023 - scipost.org
Multipole symmetries are of interest in multiple contexts, from the study of fracton phases, to
nonergodic quantum dynamics, to the exploration of new hydrodynamic universality classes …
