Fractons with Twisted Boundary Conditions and Their Symmetries
Tom Rudelius, Nathan Seiberg, Shu-Heng Shao
We study several exotic systems, including the X-cube model, on a flat three-torus with a twist in the -plane. The ground state degeneracy turns out to be a sensitive function…
FCC, Checkerboards, Fractons, and QFT
Pranay Gorantla, Ho Tat Lam, Nathan Seiberg +1
We consider XY-spin degrees of freedom on an FCC lattice, such that the system respects some subsystem global symmetry. We then gauge this global symmetry and study the correspondi…
More Exotic Field Theories in 3+1 Dimensions
Pranay Gorantla, Ho Tat Lam, Nathan Seiberg +1
We continue the exploration of nonstandard continuum field theories related to fractons in 3+1 dimensions. Our theories exhibit exotic global and gauge symmetries, defects with res…
Exotic Symmetries, Duality, and Fractons in 3+1-Dimensional Quantum Field Theory
Nathan Seiberg, Shu-Heng Shao
Following our earlier analyses of nonstandard continuum quantum field theories, we study here gapped systems in 3+1 dimensions, which exhibit fractonic behavior. In particular, we…
Exotic Symmetries, Duality, and Fractons in 3+1-Dimensional Quantum Field Theory
Nathan Seiberg, Shu-Heng Shao
We extend our exploration of nonstandard continuum quantum field theories in 2+1 dimensions to 3+1 dimensions. These theories exhibit exotic global symmetries, a peculiar spectrum…
Exotic Symmetries, Duality, and Fractons in 2+1-Dimensional Quantum Field Theory
Nathan Seiberg, Shu-Heng Shao
We discuss nonstandard continuum quantum field theories in 2+1 dimensions. They exhibit exotic global symmetries, a subtle spectrum of charged excitations, and dualities similar to…
