Compass models: Theory and physical motivations
Compass models are theories of matter in which the couplings between the internal spin (or
other relevant field) components are inherently spatially (typically, direction) dependent. A …

Low-energy limit of some exotic lattice theories and UV/IR mixing
We continue our exploration of exotic, gapless lattice and continuum field theories with
subsystem global symmetries. In an earlier paper, we presented free lattice models enjoying …

Global 3-group symmetry and't Hooft anomalies in axion electrodynamics
A bstract We investigate a higher-group structure of massless axion electrodynamics in (3+

The frustration-based approach of supercooled liquids and the glass transition: a review and critical assessment
One of the most spectacular phenomena in physics in terms of dynamical range is the glass
transition and the associated slowing down of flow and relaxation with decreasing …

Spontaneous breaking of multipole symmetries
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 …
