Fractons on curved spacetime in dimensions
Jelle Hartong, Giandomenico Palumbo, Simon Pekar +2
We study dipole Chern-Simons theory with and without a cosmological constant in dimensions. We write the theory in a second order formulation and show that this leads to a fr…
Topological Phases for Extended Objects: Semiclassical Phase-Space Approach with Tensorial Coordinates
Giandomenico Palumbo
It has long been established that certain higher-dimensional topological phases of matter support extended objects like quasi-strings and quasi-membranes in their bulk states. In t…
Topological Insulators with Hybrid-order Boundary States
Yan-Qing Zhu, Zhen Zheng, Giandomenico Palumbo +1
We report the discovery of several classes of novel topological insulators (TIs) with hybrid-order boundary states generated from the first-order TIs with additional crystalline sy…
Massive Higher-Spin Fields in the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect
Eric Bergshoeff, Andrea Campoleoni, Giandomenico Palumbo +1
Incompressibility plays a key role in the geometric description of fractional quantum Hall fluids. It is naturally related to quantum area-preserving diffeomorphisms and the underl…
