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 …

Experimental signatures of quantum and topological states in frustrated magnetism

J Khatua, B Sana, A Zorko, M Gomilšek, K Sethupathi… - Physics Reports, 2023 - Elsevier
Frustration in magnetic materials arising from competing exchange interactions can prevent
the system from adopting long-range magnetic order and can instead lead to a diverse …

Subsystem non-invertible symmetry operators and defects

W Cao, L Li, M Yamazaki, Y Zheng - SciPost Physics, 2023 - scipost.org
We explore non-invertible symmetries in two-dimensional lattice models with subsystem
$\mathbb Z_2 $ symmetry. We introduce a subsystem $\mathbb Z_2 $-gauging procedure …

Fractons, dipole symmetries and curved spacetime

L Bidussi, J Hartong, E Have, J Musaeus, S Prohazka - SciPost Physics, 2022 - scipost.org
We study complex scalar theories with dipole symmetry and uncover a no-go theorem that
governs the structure of such theories and which, in particular, reveals that a Gaussian …

Localization in fractonic random circuits

S Pai, M Pretko, RM Nandkishore - Physical Review X, 2019 - APS
We study the spreading of initially local operators under unitary time evolution in a one-
dimensional random quantum circuit model that is constrained to conserve a U (1) charge …

The fracton gauge principle

M Pretko - Physical Review B, 2018 - APS
A powerful mechanism for constructing gauge theories is to start from a theory with a global
symmetry, then apply the “gauge principle,” which demands that this symmetry hold locally …

Towards classification of Fracton phases: the multipole algebra

A Gromov - Physical Review X, 2019 - APS
We present an effective field theory approach to the fracton phases. The approach is based
on the notion of a multipole algebra. It is an extension of space (time) symmetries of a …

QED effect on a black hole shadow

Z Hu, Z Zhong, PC Li, M Guo, B Chen - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
Taking QED effect into account, we investigate the shadows of a static black hole with
magnetic monopoles and neutral black holes in magnetic fields through the numerical …

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 …

Hyperbolic non-Abelian semimetal

T Tummuru, A Chen, PM Lenggenhager, T Neupert… - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
We extend the notion of topologically protected semi-metallic band crossings to hyperbolic
lattices in a negatively curved plane. Because of their distinct translation group structure …
