abstract
Spin liquids are conventionally described by gauge theories with a vector gauge field. However, there exists a wider class of spin liquids with higher rank tensors as the gauge variable. In this work, we focus on (3+1)-dimensional spin liquids described by U(1) symmetric tensor gauge theories, which have recently been shown to be stable gapless spin liquids. We investigate the particle structure of these tensor gauge theories and find that they have deep connections with the "fracton" models recently discovered by Vijay, Haah, and Fu. Tensor gauge theories have more conservation laws than the simple charge conservation law of rank 1 theories. These conservation laws place severe restrictions on the motion of particles. Particles in some models are fully immobile (fractons), while other models have particles restricted to motion along lower-dimensional subspaces.
