Fracton phases of matter

M Pretko, X Chen, Y You - International Journal of Modern Physics …, 2020 - World Scientific
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 …

Foliated field theories and multipole symmetries

H Ebisu, M Honda, T Nakanishi - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
Due to the recent studies of the fracton topological phases, the host of which deconfined
quasiparticle excitations with mobility restrictions, the concept of symmetries has been …

Position-dependent excitations and UV/IR mixing in the rank-2 toric code and its low-energy effective field theory

SD Pace, XG Wen - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
We investigate how symmetry and topological order are coupled in the (2+ 1)–dimensional
ZN rank-2 toric code for general N, which is an exactly solvable point in the Higgs phase of a …

Quantum effects on unconventional pinch point singularities

N Niggemann, Y Iqbal, J Reuther - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
Fracton phases are a particularly exotic type of quantum spin liquids where the elementary
quasiparticles are intrinsically immobile. These phases may be described by unconventional …

Fractons and exotic symmetries from branes

H Geng, S Kachru, A Karch, R Nally… - Fortschritte der …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
The emerging study of fractons, a new type of quasi‐particle with restricted mobility, has
motivated the construction of several classes of interesting continuum quantum field theories …

Crystal-to-fracton tensor gauge theory dualities

M Pretko, Z Zhai, L Radzihovsky - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
We demonstrate several explicit duality mappings between elasticity of two-dimensional
crystals and fracton tensor gauge theories, expanding on recent works by two of the present …

Geometrizing the partial entanglement entropy: from PEE threads to bit threads

J Lin, Y Lu, Q Wen - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024 - Springer
A bstract We give a scheme to geometrize the partial entanglement entropy (PEE) for
holographic CFT in the context of AdS/CFT. More explicitly, given a point x we geometrize …

Towards explicit discrete holography: Aperiodic spin chains from hyperbolic tilings

P Basteiro, G Di Giulio, J Erdmenger, J Karl, R Meyer… - SciPost Physics, 2022 - scipost.org
We propose a new example of discrete holography that provides a new step towards
establishing the AdS/CFT duality for discrete spaces. A class of boundary Hamiltonians is …

Aperiodic spin chains at the boundary of hyperbolic tilings

P Basteiro, R Nath Das, G Di Giulio, J Erdmenger - SciPost Physics, 2023 - scipost.org
In view of making progress towards establishing a holographic duality for theories defined
on a discrete tiling of the hyperbolic plane, we consider a recently proposed boundary spin …

Quantum robustness of fracton phases

M Mühlhauser, MR Walther, DA Reiss, KP Schmidt - Physical Review B, 2020 - APS
The quantum robustness of fracton phases is investigated by studying the influence of
quantum fluctuations on the X-Cube model and Haah's code, which realize a type-I and type …
