Scale without conformal symmetry in hydrodynamics
Evangelos Afxonidis, Jewel Kumar Ghosh, Daniele Musso +2
Scale without conformal symmetry corresponds to an inhomogeneous conservation equation for the virial current sourced by the trace of the energy-momentum tensor. Fluids that are ju…

Fracton Gauge Theories in Curved Spacetimes
Evangelos Afxonidis, Alessio Caddeo, Carlos Hoyos +1
Fractonic matter with dipole symmetry can be coupled to a two-index symmetric tensor gauge field. In this work, we show that this symmetric tensor field, along with other related g…

The boundary entropy function for interface conformal field theories
Evangelos Afxonidis, Andreas Karch, Chitraang Murdia
{In 1+1 dimensional conformal field theory with a boundary the boundary contribution to the entanglement entropy is determined by a single number effectively counting the bound…
