Higgs Phases and Boundary Criticality
Kristian Tyn Kai Chung, Rafael Flores-Calderón, Rafael C. Torres +3
Motivated by recent work connecting Higgs phases to symmetry protected topological (SPT) phases, we investigate the interplay of gauge redundancy and global symmetry in lattice gau…

Hollow Lattice Tensor Gauge Theories with Bosonic Matter
José M. Cruz, Masafumi Udagawa, Pedro Bicudo +2
Higher rank gauge theories are generalizations of electromagnetism where, in addition to overall charge conservation, there is also conservation of higher rank multipoles such as t…
