Introduces the twisted Villain model to realize exact T-duality on the lattice for fibred manifolds, recovering bundle-flux exchange and defining topological defects via half-gauging.
Exotic theta terms in 2+1d fractonic φ-theory induce generalized Witten effects, with vortex operators gaining momentum subsystem charge (quadrupolar for the foliated case).
A bosonic lattice model realizes exact chiral symmetry and its anomaly in 3+1d, with the continuum limit a compact boson theory with axion-like coupling.
The ultra-local modified Villain action for lattice Maxwell theory with theta term has exact SL(2,Z) duality, with Wilson and 't Hooft loops transforming up to a phase from self-linking.
