World-Line Description of Fractons

Abstract

We formulate the word-line approach of the field theory of fractons and their symmetries. The distinction between the different models is based on their dispersion relations for the energy. In order to study the sub-system symmetries, we construct the Routhians associated with the particle Lagrangians considered. We also construct the pseudoclassical description of spinning fractons.
