Space-dependent symmetries and fractons

KT Grosvenor, C Hoyos, F Peña-Benítez… - Frontiers in …, 2022 - frontiersin.org
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 …

Global dipole symmetry, compact Lifshitz theory, tensor gauge theory, and fractons

P Gorantla, HT Lam, N Seiberg, SH Shao - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
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 …

Fracton hydrodynamics

A Gromov, A Lucas, RM Nandkishore - Physical Review Research, 2020 - APS
We introduce new classes of hydrodynamic theories inspired by the recently discovered
fracton phases of quantum matter. Fracton phases are characterized by elementary …

Dipolar bose-hubbard model

E Lake, M Hermele, T Senthil - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
We study a simple model of interacting bosons on ad-dimensional cubic lattice whose
dynamics conserves both total boson number and total boson dipole moment. This model …

Anomalous diffusion in dipole-and higher-moment-conserving systems

J Feldmeier, P Sala, G De Tomasi, F Pollmann… - Physical Review Letters, 2020 - APS
The presence of global conserved quantities in interacting systems generically leads to
diffusive transport at late times. Here, we show that systems conserving the dipole moment …

Fractonic Luttinger liquids and supersolids in a constrained Bose-Hubbard model

P Zechmann, E Altman, M Knap, J Feldmeier - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
Quantum many-body systems with fracton constraints are widely conjectured to exhibit
unconventional low-energy phases of matter. In this paper, we demonstrate the existence of …

Dipole condensates in tilted Bose-Hubbard chains

E Lake, HY Lee, JH Han, T Senthil - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
We study the quantum phase diagram of a Bose-Hubbard chain whose dynamics conserves
both a boson number and boson dipole moment, a situation which can arise in strongly tilted …

Spontaneous breaking of multipole symmetries

C Stahl, E Lake, R Nandkishore - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
Multipole symmetries are of interest both as a window on fracton physics and as a crucial
ingredient in realizing new universality classes for quantum dynamics. Here we address the …

Goldstone bosons and fluctuating hydrodynamics with dipole and momentum conservation

P Glorioso, X Huang, J Guo… - Journal of High Energy …, 2023 - Springer
A bstract We develop a Schwinger-Keldysh effective field theory describing the
hydrodynamics of a fluid with conserved charge and dipole moments, together with …

Foliated quantum field theory of fracton order

K Slagle - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
We introduce a new kind of foliated quantum field theory (FQFT) of gapped fracton orders in
the continuum. FQFT is defined on a manifold with a layered structure given by one or more …
