Classification and construction of interacting fractonic higher-order topological phases

arXiv:2210.15596 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.108.045133

Abstract

The notion of higher-order topological phases can have interesting generalizations to systems with subsystem symmetries that exhibit fractonic dynamics for charged excitations. In this work, we systematically study the higher-order topological phases protected by a combination of subsystem symmetries and ordinary global symmetries in two and three-dimensional interacting boson systems, with some interacting fermionic examples.
