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 …

Anomaly of subsystem symmetries in exotic and foliated BF theories
S Shimamura - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024 - Springer
A bstract We study the mixed't Hooft anomaly of the subsystem symmetries in the exotic BF

Gapped lineon and fracton models on graphs
We introduce a ZN stabilizer code that can be defined on any spatial lattice of the form Γ× CL
z, where Γ is a general graph. We also present the low-energy limit of this stabilizer code as …
