Fractons from covariant higher-rank 3D BF theory
Erica Bertolini, Alberto Blasi, Matteo Carrega +2
In this paper we study the 3D gauge theory of two tensor gauge fields: , which we take symmetric, and , with no symmetry on its indices. The corresponding inv…

Quasi-topological fractons: a 3D dipolar gauge theory
Erica Bertolini, Alberto Blasi, Nicola Maggiore
We consider the theory of a generic rank-2 tensor field in three spacetime dimensions, which involves a symmetric tensor field transforming under infinitesimal diffeomorphisms, and…
