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 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 …

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 …

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 …

Fundamental weight systems are quantum states

D Corfield, H Sati, U Schreiber - Letters in Mathematical Physics, 2023 - Springer
Weight systems on chord diagrams play a central role in knot theory and Chern–Simons
theory; and more recently in stringy quantum gravity. We highlight that the noncommutative …

Foliated order parameter in a fracton phase transition

MH Zarei, M Nobakht - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
Finding suitable indicators for characterizing quantum phase transitions plays an important
role in understanding different phases of matter. It is especially important for fracton phases …

Y-cube model and fractal structure of subdimensional particles on hyperbolic lattices

H Yan, K Slagle, AH Nevidomskyy - arXiv preprint arXiv:2211.15829, 2022 - arxiv.org
Unlike ordinary topological quantum phases, fracton orders are intimately dependent on the
underlying lattice geometry. In this work, we study a generalization of the X-cube model …

-adic Holography from the Hyperbolic Fracton Model

H Yan, CB Jepsen, Y Oz - arXiv preprint arXiv:2306.07203, 2023 - arxiv.org
We reveal a low-temperature duality between the hyperbolic lattice model featuring fractons
and infinite decoupled copies of Zabrodin's $ p $-adic model of AdS/CFT. The core of the …

Gravitational wave analogs in spin nematics and cold atoms

L Chojnacki, R Pohle, H Yan, Y Akagi, N Shannon - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
Large-scale gravitational phenomena are famously difficult to observe, making parallels in
condensed matter physics a valuable resource. Here we show how spin nematic phases …
