Non-equilibrium charge-vortex duality
Lazaros Tsaloukidis, Francisco Peña-BenÃtez, Piotr Surówka
Traditionally applied within equilibrium states, the charge-vortex dualities are expanded to address the complex dynamics of superfluids and ideal fluids under non-static condition…

Quadrupole gauge theory: anti-Higgs mechanism and elastic dual
Aleksander GÅódkowski, PaweÅ Matus, Francisco Peña-BenÃtez +1
Motivated by the duality between elasticity and fracton gauge theory, we study an extension of the gauge group that includes the quadrupole moment. Remarkably, we find that spontan…
