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 …

There has been a surge of interest in effective non-Lorentzian theories of excitations with
restricted mobility, known as fractons. Examples include defects in elastic materials, vortex …

We introduce new classes of hydrodynamic theories inspired by the recently discovered
fracton phases of quantum matter. Fracton phases are characterized by elementary …

Low-energy dynamics of many-body fracton excitations necessary to describe topological
defects should be governed by a novel type of hydrodynamic theory. We use a Poisson …

Dipole-conserving fluids serve as examples of kinematically constrained systems that can
be understood on the basis of symmetry. They are known to display various exotic features …

In this paper we study the consequences of the introduction of a flat boundary on a four-
dimensional (4D) covariant rank-2 gauge theory described by a linear combination of …

Fracton phases of matter feature local excitations with restricted mobility. Despite the
substantial theoretical progress they lack conclusive experimental evidence. We discuss a …

We present a realization of fracton-elasticity duality purely formulated in terms of ordinary
gauge fields, encompassing standard elasticity and incommensurate crystals. Our …

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 …

We consider the theory of a generic rank-2 tensor field in three spacetime dimensions, which
involves a symmetric tensor field transforming under infinitesimal diffeomorphisms, and a …
