Carrollian fluids and spontaneous breaking of boost symmetry

J Armas, E Have - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
In the hydrodynamic regime, field theories typically have their boost symmetry
spontaneously broken due to the presence of a thermal rest frame although the associated …

Critical superflows and thermodynamic instabilities in superfluids

B Goutéraux, F Sottovia, E Mefford - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
In this work, we study the linear stability of superfluid phases of matter irrespective of the
nature of microscopic degrees of freedom and the strength of interactions between them …

Dipole superfluid hydrodynamics

A Jain, K Jensen, R Liu, E Mefford - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract We construct a theory of hydrodynamic transport for systems with conserved dipole
moment, U (1) charge, energy, and momentum. These models have been considered in the …

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 …

Hydrodynamics in long-range interacting systems with center-of-mass conservation

A Morningstar, N O'Dea, J Richter - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
In systems with a conserved density, the additional conservation of the center of mass
(dipole moment) has been shown to slow down the associated hydrodynamics. At the same …

Fractons on curved spacetime in 2+ 1 dimensions

J Hartong, G Palumbo, S Pekar, A Pérez, S Prohazka - SciPost Physics, 2025 - scipost.org
Abstract We study dipole Chern–Simons theory with and without a cosmological constant in
$2+ 1$ dimensions. We write the theory in a second order formulation and show that this …

Fracton gauge fields from higher-dimensional gravity

F Peña-Benítez, P Salgado-Rebolledo - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024 - Springer
A bstract We show that the fractonic dipole-conserving algebra can be obtained as an
Aristotelian (and pseudo-Carrollian) contraction of the Poincaré algebra in one dimension …

Hydrodynamics and instabilities of relativistic superfluids at finite superflow

D Areán, B Goutéraux, E Mefford, F Sottovia - Journal of High Energy …, 2024 - Springer
A bstract We study the linear response of relativistic superfluids with a non-zero superfluid
velocity. For sufficiently large superflow, an instability develops via the crossing of a pole of …

Dipole symmetry breaking and fractonic Nambu-Goldstone mode

E Afxonidis, A Caddeo, C Hoyos, D Musso - SciPost Physics Core, 2023 - scipost.org
We introduce a family of quantum field theories for fields carrying monopole and dipole
charges. In contrast to previous realizations, fields have quadratic two-derivative kinetic …

Godbillon-Vey invariants of Non-Lorentzian spacetimes and Aristotelian hydrodynamics

VE Marotta, RJ Szabo - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the geometry of foliated non-Lorentzian spacetimes in terms of the Godbillon-Vey
class of the foliation. We relate the intrinsic torsion of a foliated Aristotelian manifold to its …
