Covariant field theory of 3D massive fractons

Erica Bertolini, Matteo Carrega, Nicola Maggiore +1

We construct a covariant and gauge-invariant theory describing massive fractons in three spacetime dimensions, based on a symmetric rank-2 tensor field. The model includes a Chern-…

Quivers and BPS states in 3d and 4d

Piotr Kucharski, Pietro Longhi, Dmitry Noshchenko +2

We propose a symmetrization relation between BPS quivers encoding 4d theories and symmetric quivers associated to 3d theories. We analyse in detail…

Quasi-topological mass generation for 3D linearized gravity

Erica Bertolini, Edoardo Lui, Nicola Maggiore

We present a new mass generation mechanism for linearized gravity in three spacetime dimensions, which consists of a lower-dimensional Chern-Simons-like term added to the invariant…

Note on surface defects in multiscalar critical models

Andrii Anataichuk, Sabine Harribey

This paper studies generic surface defects for multiscalar critical models using a perturbative expansion in dimensions. The beta functions of the defect couplings for a…

Quasi-topological fractons: a 3D dipolar gauge theory

Erica Bertolini, Alberto Blasi, Nicola Maggiore

We consider the theory of a generic rank-2 tensor field in three spacetime dimensions, which involves a symmetric tensor field transforming under infinitesimal diffeomorphisms, and…

Fractonic self-duality and covariant magnetic fractons

Erica Bertolini, Giandomenico Palumbo

Fractons, excitations with restricted mobility, have emerged as a novel paradigm in high-energy and condensed matter physics, revealing deep connections to gauge theories and gravi…
