Screw dislocations in the X-cube fracton model
Nandagopal Manoj, Kevin Slagle, Wilbur Shirley +1
The X-cube model, a prototypical gapped fracton model, has been shown to have a foliation structure. That is, inside the 3+1D model, there are hidden layers of 2+1D gapped topologi…

Fractonic order in infinite-component Chern-Simons gauge theories
Xiuqi Ma, Wilbur Shirley, Meng Cheng +3
2+1D multi-component gauge theories with a Chern-Simons (CS) term provide a simple and complete characterization of 2+1D Abelian topological orders. In this paper, we extend…

Fractonic order and emergent fermionic gauge theory
Wilbur Shirley
We consider fermionic systems in which fermion parity is conserved within rigid subsystems, and describe an explicit procedure for gauging such subsystem fermion parity symmetries…
