Fractonic gauge theory of smectics
Zhengzheng Zhai, Leo Radzihovsky
Motivated by striped correlated quantum matter, and the recently developed duality between elasticity of a two-dimensional (2D) crystal and a gauge theory, we derive a dual coupled…

Crystal-to-Fracton Tensor Gauge Theory Dualities
Michael Pretko, Zhengzheng Zhai, Leo Radzihovsky
We demonstrate several explicit duality mappings between elasticity of two-dimensional crystals and fracton tensor gauge theories, expanding on recent works by two of the present a…
