A covariant Maxwell-like fracton theory is constructed in 6D with a symmetric tensor gauge field whose scalar gauge symmetry enforces charge and dipole conservation, restricting isolated charges to immobility.

Covariant Fracton Electrodynamics in Six Dimensions
A covariant Maxwell-like fracton theory is constructed in 6D with a symmetric tensor gauge field whose scalar gauge symmetry enforces charge and dipole conservation, restricting isolated charges to immobility.
